Documents in. Documents out. A person stands behind every pass.
TKO Group LLC provides proofreading, copyediting, and line editing for businesses, authors, nonprofits, and agencies: websites and marketing copy, reports and proposals, manuals, newsletters, and book-length manuscripts. Work is performed under contract with the LLC, and every engagement is reviewed and attested by our editor of record, Rob Seerey.

Our Workflow, Stated Plainly
Our production workflow is AI-assisted and human-owned. Modern tools help us move volume; a professional human editor reads, decides, and owns every revision that reaches you, and is named on your engagement. We do not take work that requires concealing how it was produced, and we do not ghostwrite assessed student work — editing an author's own text is the service; writing it for them is not.
