Writing can be a messy process. Draft upon draft. Months of slaving effort. Hundreds of concepts swirling and bubbling to the surface, even in the simplest short story or the most concise book proposal.

The Distillery's editors are an eclectic bunch. We're weird creative types. Thus our editing talents lean toward  the creative: novels, short stories, collections, nonfiction books, essays, traditional or experimental prose. Whether you need one last proofread before publishing your e-book, or a creative kick in the rear to jumpstart that sagging short story, The Distillery is here to help.

Fill out our contact form. An editor will email you within hours. He or she will evaluate your manuscript and quote you an estimate. Then (with your permission, of course) we'll get to work.
