Midnight Publishing offers almost every editorial service for authors and businesses through our vetted pool of professionals. Our product is the written word and content creation, and we take the time to understand our clients' ambition, target audience, and ideas. We take care of the writing, editing, design, and publishing consultation needs of business owners, entrepreneurs, and authors. Our goal is to make sure your material reads beautifully, speaking to your target audience in the most precise and exciting way possible.
We specialize in both The Chicago Manual of Style and AP style, but here's what we believe: the editing process is so much more than reference books and proper grammar. We always try to be acutely aware of writers' voice and style, to embrace the ever-changing nature of language. Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.
All potential clients receive a free sample edit of 1,000 words, which allows us the opportunity to evaluate your work and the amount of time the job requires and gives you the chance to assess our work so that you can decide whether or not it is a good fit.
History
Established in 2008.
The boutique company Midnight Publishing was originally established by editor and writer Lauren Wise to help other writers just like her in the struggling economy. It was her goal to provide a unique brand of writing and editing to local businesses, authors and organizations.
Meet the Business Owner: Lauren W.
In 2009, founder Lauren Wise felt the need to address a common issue with authors who approached her for editing. Many had experienced lackluster or disappointing results and relationships with a prior book editor or were overwhelmed on how to map out their journey into the book publishing landscape. Midnight Publishing was born on the premise of providing authors a transparent look at the editing and publishing process, with a one-on-one, never automated author/editor relationship that ultimately makes the author a stronger writer, allowing a deep understanding of how edits strengthen their manuscript. Our priority is to create a manuscript as professional and polished as possible, while retaining our writers' style and voice on the forefront. Collectively, we have helped craft over 10 million words and 35+ award-winning books. We know investing in your words is not to be taken lightly, so it's vital for us to build a relationship and be available outside of regular business hours.
