Why we are unique
Being unique is a big claim. So, you might ask, how can we make it? And what does ‘unique’ really mean?
We define unique as being the only house of its kind in Australia – and most likely worldwide – because of our focus on strong, developmental, mentoring relationships.
Mentoring is part of the overall Brascoe strategy
Unlike other publishing houses and editing services, we have a stated strategy that is built into how we do what we do. We build a ‘mentoring mindset’ into our everyday interactions, and make it a part of everything we do. For example, if you are merely seeking a basic editorial service our ‘mentoring mind-set’ will not only add value to your experience, but you will come out the other side having learned valuable things about your project, and also about your everyday writing.
We maintain our strategy in everything – from our newsletter to our blog, to our Twitter activity.
Writers get more out of a mentoring relationship than just better writing
Mentoring tends to improve writers’ skills base as well as their self-confidence and self-esteem. This is one reason why mentoring can be especially useful for business writers.
Those writers who have the benefit of a good, friendly, open mentoring relationship with an editor stand a much better chance of developing their skills. The mentoring relationship is educational on both sides: writers learn the finer points of refining their work; they learn about structure, characters (in fiction), process, format, and much more. On the other side, editors learn a great deal about other disciplines and areas, thus enabling them to provide an even better service.
