You and Your Military Hero

October 1, 2019

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

You and Your Military Hero helps children learn positive coping skills during a loved one’s deployment. A friendly dog named Flipp guides the child on a journey toward positive thinking. Flipp encourages children to appreciate the moment even during challenging times. By practicing the activities in this book, children develop coping competencies that they can apply throughout their lifetimes.

April Michelle Davis proofread this manuscript before it was published. In the editing process, proofreading is the last step before a manuscript is published. The value of proofreading is to ensure consistency and eliminate egregious errors. April Michelle’s years of experience, knowledge of the English language,  and understanding of the Chicago Manual of Style shined through as she brought this manuscript to be published-ready.

Catholic Alcoholic

September 1, 2019

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

Alcoholism and Catholicism: both are paradoxes. They capture life and death. Joy and suffering. Faith and doubt. Compassion and abuse. Death and resurrection.

In this inspiring autobiographical work, Annetta Sutton takes her readers on a journey of pure redemption. Through the alcohol abuse present in her family, marriage, and career, Annetta bore witness to the disease’s devastating wrath. Yet, she chose to be an instrument of peace, to guide others in rising from the ashes. Told through vignettes of her life, Annetta’s interactions with addiction touch on themes of abuse, sexual violence, diversity of faith, parenting and families, and much more. Catholic Alcoholic: A Witness to Addiction and Redemption is a testament to the might and perseverance of the human spirit.

April Michelle Davis spent a week proofreading this book immediately before publication. This is usually performed on a manuscript that has already been through developmental or copyediting and has already been laid out by a designer into page proofs. It provides a last review of egregious errors, such as basic grammar, punctuation, spelling, and inconsistencies, and any other errors that were inserted during the design process.

Bird Dogs Lightly Done

August 1, 2019

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

Local cartoonist Bob Schweikhardt’s Bird Dogs Lightly Done is 108 pages of cartoons, quirks, and stories of hunting dogs and more. Back in the 1940s, a boy who liked to draw rode his bike down to the Gambles store, plunked down a hard-earned forty-seven cents, and bought a box of 16-gauge shotgun shells. He borrowed his older brother’s English Setter (and his double barrel) and went bird hunting. He was hooked.

April Michelle Davis copyedited this manuscript, which is the last step in the editing process and the last time the manuscript will be reviewed before being laid out by the book designer. April Michelle’s experience and skill at correcting grammatical and stylistic errors helped to professionally prepare this manuscript for printing, and they also reflect her credibility with the author, publisher, and future readers.

Big Brother Has Wheels

July 1, 2019

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com

Follow Big Brother’s lifetime interest in wheels as he explores beyond the comfortable boundaries of his family farm, rolling through neighboring towns, then nearby states, and finally all across the United States, he drives everything from a tricycle to a forklift. His love of wheels is more than a boyish hobby—it’s a ticket to the whole country.

But Big Brother carries another love with him through all his zipping and zooming: his family. He shares his passion with his brothers and sisters, and every adventure circles back to the ones he loves. With a new vehicle on every page, Big Brother Has Wheels will entertain kids hungering for wheels of their own. Young readers can follow Big Brother’s travels as he grows into each new set of wheels, while grown-ups will appreciate details that recall their own childhoods.

April Michelle Davis proofread this children’s book, helping to prepare it for young readers full of adventure!

Attitudes at Every Altitude

April 1, 2019

Editorial Inspirations Editing/Indexing/Proofreading www.EditorialInspirations.com
Proofread
Welcome on board for a close-up view of airline travel today based on real-life miles flown. Attitudes at Every Altitude was written by a flight attendant with experience in excess of 7 million miles. Over 300 humorous situations are covered in Gregg Proteaux’s compilation of relationships among passengers, flight attendants, pilots, and the airlines of today. The newest surcharges, smaller seats, delayed flights, and pay cuts are all here, which occur in airline travel every day. Experience them in this writing so that you will be better prepared when you board your next flight. In a humorous way, every passenger will have a more realistic expectation of airlines and its employees in today’s world of travel. April Michelle Davis proofread this manuscript as the last stage prior to printing of the book to ensure its consistency and clarity in sharing the author’s message and humor with its readers.
