Refine Your Manuscript, Strengthen Your Message
Parallax´s editors can help you sharpen your book’s concept, structure, and impact. We offer five distinct services designed to meet you where you are in your writing journey.
Authors often have countless questions about the publishing process. In this session, you can ask anything—about expectations, obligations, timelines, industry norms, or how publishers make decisions. We’ll give you clear, objective answers that reflect the broader industry, not just our own practices, so you walk away with a true 360-degree understanding of how publishing works.

Proposal Development
$250/hour

Every publisher expects a strong proposal—one that clearly articulates your book’s value, structure, competitive landscape,
audience, marketing potential, and more. We know exactly what decision-makers look for and can help you craft a polished, compelling proposal that stands out and attracts attention.
If you already have a detailed outline or a draft, we’ll dig in to assess how clearly your core premise comes through and how effectively your arguments, stories, and applications support it. You’ll receive focused recommendations to tighten your structure, boost clarity, and elevate appeal—always with your target readers in mind.
Editorial Coaching

manuscript Review
$2000
We maintain a network of seasoned reviewers across fields and specialties. We’ll hand-select three who are well-matched to your manuscript and who will provide both a high-level assessment and detailed in-document comments.
If you’d like help making sense of the feedback, one of our editors can review it with you, clarify what’s most valuable, and help you decide how to incorporate it into your next round of revisions.
We offer high quality translations for German, English, French and Spanish texts by a team of experienced translators. Earlier works include translations of Ken Wilber, Timothy Leary, Don Beck, Robert Anton Wilson, Marianna Costa but also literary texts by Oscar Wilder and Henry David Thoreau.
