Editorial Disclaimer
Last updated: June 2026
This editorial disclaimer explains the scope and limitations of the editing services provided by Wendy Ogilvie Editorial.
Professional Editorial Support
Editorial services provided through this website are designed to improve clarity, structure, grammar, consistency, and reader experience. All editorial feedback is offered using professional judgement and best editorial practices.
Editing is a collaborative process intended to strengthen a manuscript while preserving the author’s voice and intent.
No Guarantee of Publication or Commercial Success
While editorial feedback can improve the quality of a manuscript, Wendy Ogilvie Editorial does not guarantee publication, literary representation, commercial success, or positive reviews.
Publishing decisions are made by agents, publishers, and readers, and are influenced by many factors outside the editor’s control.
Author Responsibility
The author remains fully responsible for the final content of their manuscript.
This includes responsibility for:
- Accepting or rejecting editorial suggestions
- Fact-checking and verifying information
- Obtaining permissions for copyrighted material
- Ensuring compliance with legal or publishing requirements
Editorial suggestions are recommendations only and should not be interpreted as legal or publishing advice.
Scope of Editing
Editorial services may include manuscript review, proofreading, beta reading, or copyediting depending on the agreed service.
No edit can guarantee that all errors will be identified. Editing reduces errors and improves readability but cannot ensure a manuscript is entirely error-free.
Confidentiality
All manuscripts shared for editorial services are treated as confidential. Manuscripts will not be shared with third parties without the author’s permission.
Testimonials or references to client work will only be used with the author’s consent.
Independent Editorial Service
Wendy Ogilvie Editorial operates as an independent editorial service and is not affiliated with any publishing house, literary agency, or book distributor unless explicitly stated.
