Transcription, copy editing, and editorial services
Wow, we do a lot of work on this site transcribing and editing! But, it’s what we enjoy doing. You know that question, “What would you be doing if making a living didn’t matter?” Well, this is it.
Then again, making a living doing what you love is an ideal to be sought after. So, maybe you could use our attention to detail for your project? We can take on simple or complex editing and revision tasks, from simply doing transcription to get your words from audio or scan into a digital format all the way to offering our expertise and experience evaluating your writing in order to offer suggestions and corrections. Whatever your writing project, be it story, presentation, essay or article; we can help with ideas and suggestions to improve the final draft.
Moreover, we’re in a unique position to offer advice about technical issues specifically related to the Western Esoteric Tradition for your creative projects.* What every good librarian can do is find answers for you. Do you have questions about creating realistic, believable and good scenes about the practices in the Western Esoteric Tradition? We may be able to help, and if we don’t know something we are in contact with a variety of other people with specific expertise to meet just about any need you might have.

So, consider also contacting the librarian about reviewing your project if it includes information technology topics.If somehow your project includes topics related to information technology as well as the Western Esoteric Tradition, the librarian would probably get very excited indeed.

Advertise
There are ad banners around the site, on many pages. So, simply by using the site you can support The Hermetic Library. However, we’ve teamed up Project Wonderful to help enable more relevant ads to be placed on the site than were available with some other networks. (Frankly, we got really tired of some of the ads from huge national corporations with no interest in or relevance to the site!) This lets us create a way that having ads on the site is also very much about supporting the wider community. Now our advertising helps the community reach out to each other.
Do you have an esoteric blog or website of your own which you'd like to let people know about? Perhaps you’ve authored a book or been a guest on a podcast and want to get the word out, and know that the audience of The Hermetic Library is your potential audience; now you can!
Join our advertising network
In addition to the simple banners at the top of hermetic.com pages, there are also a few other ad boxes available, for example those specific to the Hrmtc Underground, including the Hermetic Library blog. You can wandering over to see all of the possible spaces.
