FAITH-BASED SOLUTIONS

FICTION EDITING

SELF-HELP

Some people build a better mousetrap, but others build a better way to live, work, and play.  If you have found skills and secrets that bring life into focus, or simply a solution to a problem, we can help you put it into words.  We have written and edited pamphlets and books on subjects ranging from  workplace to playground to home. We have helped corporations and individuals state their cases in the clearest prose possible.

We put improvement into words. 

Expressions of faith and spirit need a sensitive editorial touch.  An editor must listen to the inspiration within the words; a ghostwriter must hear the hope and dreams behind a voice. At Bear Press we believe that each voice deserves clear, concise expression with all of its inspiration intact. Our editors and writers have helped people in a variety of faiths bring their beliefs to the printed page. Our only criteria is that we will not give voice to hatred or bigotry.

FAMILY HISTORY

& AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Everyone has a story to tell. 

Every family has a story made up of many stories.  These accounts are worth recording for relatives, friends, and perhaps for a larger audience as well.  The same is true of a person's life.  Stories of families and individuals are sometimes those of quiet faith and loyalty.  At other times these tales are odysseys through the tumults of their age, featuring war, peace, the building of homes and businesses, and the emotions that bind it all together.

A good story should be told with style and sensitivity; that's where editors and ghostwriters  help.  Whether it is a subtle evocation of nostalgia, or a saga of glory, love, and ambition, a writer/editor can bring perspective and professionalism to the telling. 

Bear Press helps bring out the best in these stories.  Our Writing Checkup often serves as an excellent way to sample editorial input before committing to a whole project. If your story deserves to be told, get in touch with us.

POETRY

Poetry is often the most personal of forms, yet it also requires a discipline of language as great or greater than any other writing.  Poets usually need constructive analysis of their work, rather than editing.  At Bear Press we understand the needs of the poem, as well as those of the poet.  We are familiar with a wide varety of styles.  Our critiques are honest, caring, and thoughtful.  Our goal is to help the writer bring the poem to the page.
