Editing Services for Self-Published Books


Philanthropology's book publishing services focus on helping entrepreneurs who use their books to grow their image or brand and position themselves as the industry experts that they are.


If you're self publishing a book, you've worked too hard to send all those pages of carefully crafted sentences to print without getting an objective, professional perspective. Or worse yet, your manuscript is rich in content but inconsistent in style or formatting — making it appear amateur and less credible to your readers. The following services are available to authors self-publishing a book:

  • Proofreading
  • Editing
  • Fact checking
  • Conforming copy to AP Style Guidelines for consistency

Corporate Newsletters


Philanthropology designs, coordinates and manages custom, corporate newsletters - hardcopies and electronic versions. Use a signature newsletter to promote products and services, advertise sales and special events, educate your target demographic or improve branding. Hire us for one piece of a project or for full service - concept creation to delivery of final product. We can even do the mailing for you.


This is an example of a newsletter redesign we coordinated and now manage - from assigning stories and editing to fact checking and design layout.
