All About Us

Scribes Unlimited's History

We’ve come quite a ways since 1993, when we were essentially a two-person operation writing scripts and reports, and every so often taking a large super-8 camera out on location to shoot video. But it was our writing and editing skills that really started to gain attention when we came online, and became the #1 website in the world for writing, editing and research.

Since then, we’ve written and edited hundreds of business plans, grant proposals, blogs, articles, books, video scripts, and so much more. Nearly 30 years of writing for so many people, and for so many projects.

In the past few years, we jumped on the publishing train and have helped numerous authors and artists make names for themselves on the Internet and beyond, with web pages, social media strategies, and marketing solutions. We’ve helped budding or established authors to not only become published – but popular as well.

And we’ve expanded even more. Building a team of amazing people who can do all of this and more. And as we enter into the webcomic industry, along with TV and film and video, we’;re prepared to go even farther than we ever have before.

That’s why we’re Scribes Unlimited, and for the pas 30 years, we have believed as we still do today. Imagination is, and always should be, unbound.

Please contact us if you feel we can help your imagination soar too.
