“Why 6figs?” 

To us, the fig tree best symbolizes the path an independent author takes to make their dream a reality. 

We chose the name 6figs Editing for our business because like the fig tree, the path to publishing success is ever-winding, ever upward. Our goal is to provide you the services and support that can help take your tiny seed from the concept for a story — and progress it to a boundless ripe fruit your audience will be eager to sink its teeth into.

The fig has been a revered fruit since the beginning of humanity. It’s one of the most symbolic fruits in the written language; the fig is soft and sweet with delicate, colorful skin, and contains a myriad of small seeds of potential within each fruit. Upon maturity, it can be enjoyed at its prime, when preserved, and even dried. The tree rarely grows straight; just as an author’s journey to success, there are twists and turns along the way. Yet, with the right conditions and care, the fig tree continues to grow, and thrive, providing nourishment and comfort for those who rest beneath its branches.

By keeping the qualities of the fig tree in mind, 6figs Editing is committed to respecting and valuing your work from start to finish, guiding you through your first draft all the way to meticulously preparing your final revision. We’re honored to have the opportunity to help you share the fruits of your labor with the world.
