#ReturnToRealBooks - PRINT-READY TYPESETTING IS FREE WITH THIS SERVICE.
Whatever language your manuscript is written in, I can translate it to English before proofreading and copy-editing to the usual high-quality.
PLEASE NOTE: This is one of the few occasions when A.I. will prominently dictate the outcome of your instruction. Software will be used to translate your book before receiving your appraisal, and will base your quotation on the translated word count, as if appraising any other English-language book. Your A.I.-software-translated manuscript will be returned to you along with your editorial appraisal, and subsequent instruction will confirm your acceptance of the translation.
THIS SERVICE ASSUMES YOU ARE TRANSLATING YOUR BOOK FOR SALE TO AN ENGLISH-READING MARKET; PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOUR FINAL, EDITED MANUSCRIPT WILL NOT BE TRANSLATED BACK INTO ITS ORIGINAL LANGUAGE AS PART OF THE SERVICE.

"I found an unpublished manuscript my mother had written years ago ... about a portion of her childhood during the Great Depression in 1929. Through a friend's wholehearted recommendation I found MJV and contacted Matt through the website. I had NO idea where to begin. Matt walked me through the process patiently, kindly and always encouraging, and consistently prompt ... It was proofread thoroughly and professionally. The formatting was perfect and uploaded to Amazon flawlessly. Thank you Matt and team for guiding me through the process and thank you for the tree planted as icing on the cake!"
"Wonderful experience. I learned a great deal from Matt, the deliverables were of exceptional quality and the price was exceedingly reasonable. The editing and formatting took a ragged manuscript and made it a real book. I anticipated getting far less for far more. This has been a great experience. My sincere thanks to all involved."
"Matt McAvoy has provided a highly professional service in reviewing my book and carrying out an editorial appraisal. He did all that at a price substantially below that of competitors. With my next book I will have no hesitation in using his services to the full."
"Very professional service and excellent communication throughout the process. Exactly what I was hoping for. Communication was excellent... additionally quality of service overall and help provided was first rate. Furthermore price and product quality were also superb. Communication is key to this type of service and the service provided was first rate. Affordable but not to the degree of undermining a quality of service. Good balance given. Whilst there may be cheaper out there it is unlikely they would provide as thorough a service or as good a service. Personally I am happy to pay slightly more for a very good product and service. Regular, swift and always willing to answer questions with a personal response. And when I asked for further clarification it was given promptly and in good detail in a clear manner. I came across you from a recommendation from a friend so I would be more than happy to do the same."
"Beyond the comprehensive work that was done for the instructions I gave to be done, working with Matt was always a joy. He never once considered my requests and questions to be out-of-line or impossible, but forthrightly helped figure out how they could be done or gave better suggestions. In the end it was always my decisions; he simply provided the professional guidance for those decisions. It was a very enjoyable and productive experience."
