Welcome to the Desktop Resources Services page. We offer full-service help with print and on-line publications, including writing, editing, design, and Web Page design.

Our goal is to provide excellent service at prices tailored to the budgets and needs of small businesses and non-profit groups.
In addition to an overview of our services, this Web site provides access to a variety of resources on the World Wide Web. The Resources for Peace Page provides links to a variety of groups that work for non-violent resolution of conflicts, including community groups, peace studies programs, and publishers who specialize in peaceful books.

Our services include writing, copy-editing, design, and indexing.
Writing and Editing
Writing • Copy-Editing • Rewrite • Reorganizing
For many people, the hardest part of getting a report, a book, or an article into print is finding the words and getting them to read well. We can help. We'll take your copy and polish it, and we'll check it for readability, to make sure your readers can understand what you're trying to say. We specialize in organizing material into well-shaped articles and books that are lucid and ease the reader from one point to the next. If you're stuck on a writing project, give us a call.
Web Page Design
Web Pages That Look Good and Get Your Message Across Quickly
You could spend hours learning Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), fiddling with code, learning the difference between a GIF and a JPEG. Or you can call us. We provide clean, simple pages that won't irritate your customers by taking hours to load—but will still look good and get your message across. We can make you look good on the Web without spending a fortune. Give us a call.
Book Editing and Design
Full-Service Book Editing and Design
Getting published today is often a matter of chance. Even books of high quality sometimes can't find a publisher. Sometimes the simplest way to get your book into print is to publish it yourself. Many famous writers—including Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, Henry David Thoreau, and Edith Wharton—have done it. We offer complete, start-to-finish editorial and book creation services at affordable prices. And we'll help you to find the most cost-effective printer for your needs. We offer services to self-publishers. We are not a vanity press. If you have a book that needs to be in print—for a special occasion, a special contribution to literature, or a specialized purpose—consider self-publishing with help from Desktop Resources.
Fundraising Help
Direct Mail Appeals • Grant Proposals
Improve your group's fundraising with well-written grant proposals, powerful direct mail appeals, and better donor tracking. Desktop Resources can help you do all this and more. You have to spend money to make money, but we keep our prices as low as possible. We've been there; we know what small non-profits face.
