How we are different
Sabertext is a professional consultancy that offers premium editorial services. Here are just some of the ways we differ from our competitors:
A full-service consultancy
Sabertext is a full-service consultancy. We will endeavor to handle any project you bring to us. We can handle a range of jobs all the way from proofreading and minor web content edits all the way up to editing or ghostwriting whole books, editing annual reports, and coordinating design work with top artists and graphic designers.
Our combined expertise in writing, publishing, web development, and design support each other. Sabertext’s editorial side backs all these other functions, so that every word you entrust us with is polished by world-class talent for maximum impact.
We make use of the latest in communications technology to put you in close contact with consultants who will help guide your project to fruition, wherever you are.
A premium professional service
We are professionals, and are committed to the highest creative, technical, and professional standards. We also provide an outstanding customer service experience.
We are committed to continuing professional development, through traditional education and through treating every project as a learning experience. No matter how good we are, we’ll always strive to be better.
We are not a sweatshop or a developing-world outsourcing outfit. Our rates reflect what it takes to secure the services of today’s brightest creative minds: the same kind of people you’ll find working at major publishing houses, advertising and design agencies, and listed companies, or writing the most exciting and elegant stories for major media outlets and the novels and screenplays that will become tomorrow’s bestsellers and blockbusters.
Our core services are billed at a per-word rate that gives you certainty about total job cost, avoiding budget blowouts and guaranteeing against nondelivery. With us, you pay only for pure productivity.
Creative talent
Our management networks with top design agencies and with the business and research communities to give you access to the best creative talent and to a genuine understanding of your organization’s needs and operating environment.
We supplement our dedication to serving the needs of the international business community with an equal dedication to creative development. Our consultants and associates are all people of significant personal accomplishment, and have a range of creative interests that feed back into their work for us.
Intense focus and attention
Search the internet for information on editing, and you’ll hear rumors that the profession is in decline. Not at Sabertext.
The Guardian reports that an “intense collaborative process between author and editor no longer exists in Britain,” and that “writers and agents were complaining that, because of the pressures they’re under, modern-day editors simply don’t have the time to edit” (link).
Well, you might not be able to find it elsewhere, but you can find it here. We have the skills and the uncompromising attention to detail of an earlier generation of editors, and we use the latest technology to stay globally mobile and make sure they’re widely available.
