Our prime editor, Angela Wingfield, advocates the
importance of a high standard of written language. She
is also familiar with Canadian, British and American
English usage.
We work with you on or off site, on or off screen,
using Microsoft Word or WordPerfect software.
We also oversee
every step of book production from manuscript
preparation through printing to delivery. To meet your
design demands, we draw upon creative and versatile,
out-of-the-ordinary graphic designers who have
extensive experience in book layout, cover design, and
audio books.
Proofreading
Fine Tune
proofreads all manner of text, including Web site
information, to ensure accuracy and clear
communication. With an ability to spot what is
missing, Angela Wingfield gives content advice and
verifies that all the required components are present.
Proofreading of Spanish and French text is a special
feature of our services.
Indexing
“Readers turn to an
index with a very specific purpose, to locate
information about a topic. When that topic is easily
located, the readers' needs are satisfied” (Nancy C.
Mulvany, Indexing Books). Such an index can be
one of a book's selling features. Bookstore browsers
often turn to the back of an important book to see if
their topics of interest are included, or to see what
is included. Serious researchers and readers
who wish to refer frequently to the text will be
frustrated without a carefully prepared, detailed
index.
The index is a reader’s avenue into the book. Fine
Tune Communications provides diligent analysis of the
text and, as a result, a clear, crisp index — a GPS
(global positioning system) for navigating the ideas
and facts gathered in the book. After all the author’s
efforts to bring them to fruition we help the reader
to fully appreciate them.
