What We Offer



We provide publishers, book packagers, and authors with a quick, reliable, cost-efficient way to produce books, documentation, periodicals, and more. Currently, we focus on editing: copyediting, line editing, and development and substantive editing. Our clients are well known in the industry, and the writers we work with range from New York Times bestselling authors to literary hopefuls. We edit a mix of fiction and nonfiction.

LightSpeed Publishing is now a trade name of Earthshine Productions, LLC, and we work under both names. Occasionally, upon request, we still offer full packaging services. We provide the content you desire, the look and feel you seek, and the deadlines you set, all with professional attention to every detail of your forthcoming publication.

We encourage you to enquire about the following services:

    Publishers and authors alike appreciate LightSpeed's insightful, helpful, friendly, professional, and comprehensive editing. Our editing services span the gamut, including development, content, and copyediting. A tight developmental edit focuses the author, contributes to a strong publication, and prevents problems later on in the production cycle. Content/substantive edits make sure the subject matter is presented in a logical, compelling, and easy-to-follow manner. In  copyediting, we assure consistency, adherence to your preferred style guides, and have a sharp eye for typos and other errors. Authors enjoy working with us and always view us as advocates and allies.

We'll provide and supervise the services you need to make your publications sparkle! We can give you tighter control of your publications and generally produce them more quickly than is possible inhouse.
