Embers Igniting Editing

Writing & Editing

We are an editing service whose goal is to partner with writers, to focus on the process of writing by helping authors improve their craft, and to foster and promote a community of writers who are seeking to refine their work.Embers Igniting started out as a literary magazine in 2013 that was invested in the growth of its submitters as writers and artists. Our desire from the very beginning was to not just say "yes" or "no" to submissions, but to provide detailed feedback for each submission and help each creator improve their craft. We put out a total of five magazines over five years, and each year was a journey of learning and editing with contributors, culminating in the celebration of finished volumes with their own unique heart and style.Over time, our Embers staff grew eager to work with writers of longer works, and we officially launched Embers Igniting Editing in April of 2019. Our little magazine will always have a place in our hearts, but though our method has changed, our desire to help people improve their projects and grow in their craft will always remain the same.We provide high-quality editing at an affordable price for writers who take their craft seriously but also have a desire to be fiscally responsible. If you're a new writer wanting to receive coaching as you explore the world of storytelling or a seasoned writer looking to prepare your project for publication, we would love to hear from you.No matter the length of your project—from flash fiction to full-length novels—our goal is to partner with writers through the editing process, protecting and strengthening their personal style while encouraging their growth as writers. We will come alongside our clients and explain the "why" of our proposed changes, rather than shouting only the "what" from above them. After all, real writers want to grow; we want to help them.
