EDITORIAL
Did you know that at this publishing house, every person on staff does this job because we love it and not because it makes us money? Many of us are teachers, authors, scholars, and editors in our day jobs. Yep, that's pretty cool. Unlike most publishing houses that have all of these wonderful editors on board and never let them do any freelance editing or side work. We don't like that idea. At Unsolicited Press, we offer a range of editorial services including a professional editing package. Writers soliciting editorial services are NOT eligible for submission. We do not charge, and will NEVER charge, contracted authors for editing services -- editing is always part of the deal. ​If you want to submit, but need help finding a skilled editor, you can email us and we can point you in the right direction.
