| Copy-editing |
| "The good copy-editor is a rare creature: an intelligent reader and a tactful and sensitive critic; someone who cares enough about perfection of detail to spend a long time checking small points of consistency in someone else's work but has the judgement not to waste time or antagonize the author by making unnecessary corrections." |

At VNI, we strive for perfection, to be sensitive and tactful, and to value-add to the author's work. We promise (our authors and publisher clients) to read every word of the entire script before it reaches the hands of the reader. Apart from ensuring general sense and organization, we read scripts for correctness of grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency of style usage, and sequencing and cross-referencing. |

|
| Proofreading |
|
| |
As the last line of defense against errors, proofreading is a process done with great care and thoroughness. We proofread scripts twice or more to check for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other inconsistencies prior to printing. |

| Technical Editing |
|
| |
Stretching our experience of working on computing and engineering books, we help produce reader-friendly user manuals, technical support brochures, abstracts, and the like. |

| Indexing |
|
| |
While a computer-generated index is an easy option, it is neither effective nor elegant. our professional indexers use their judgement and intelligence to create a reader-friendly and appropriate index. |

| Translation |
|
| |
Essentially an outsourced activity, we work with experts in the field who can translate scripts in English into any Indian language and vice versa. (We have so far worked on Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada projects.) |
