Our developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements that shape your manuscript. We evaluate overall structure, pacing, and narrative flow to ensure a compelling journey for readers. For fiction, we refine character development and consistency, while for non-fiction, we enhance argument coherence and logical progression
Line editing transforms your writing by elevating it at the paragraph and sentence level. We improve sentence structure, paragraph transitions, and overall flow, while enhancing clarity and readability. Redundancies and wordiness are eliminated, your voice and tone are strengthened, and language is adjusted for your intended audience. Often seen as a luxury add-on, we consider line editing a vital step that turns good writing into truly great prose.
Our copy editors focus on the technical precision of your manuscript. This includes correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling, ensuring consistency in hyphenation, capitalization, and terminology, and properly formatting numbers, dates, and citations. We also align your manuscript with the appropriate style guide, whether it's Chicago, APA, or another standard. While many services offer only this level of “basic” editing, we understand that technical accuracy is just one part of a professionally edited book.
As the last step before publication, our proofreading process ensures your manuscript is error-free and presentation-ready. We catch any lingering mistakes, check for consistency across all elements, and review formatting and layout. This stage also verifies that all previous editing changes have been applied correctly. Where many authors are forced to choose between copy editing or proofreading, we believe both are essential for delivering a final product that meets professional publishing standards.
Whether your manuscript is 40,000 or 100,000 words, our flat-fee pricing remains the same. We won't penalize you for writing a comprehensive book or pressure you to cut content to save on editing costs.
In this phase, our editors dive deep into the manuscript, line by line, scrutinizing every word and sentence. We focus on refining the language, enhancing clarity, improving sentence structure, and ensuring consistent tone and voice throughout the narrative. Our meticulous attention to detail ensures a refined and professional final product.
Unlike assembly-line editing services that pass your manuscript through multiple editors (often creating inconsistencies), we assign one primary editor who oversees your entire project. This ensures consistency in approach, recommendations, and communication
We don't force you to choose between "basic," "standard," or "premium" editing packages. Every manuscript receives comprehensive editing at all levels because that's what professional publishing demands.
Our book editing process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your manuscript. Our skilled editors carefully analyze your work, assessing elements such as plot structure, character development, pacing, and overall coherence. This evaluation provides us with valuable insights into the strengths and areas that require improvement, laying the foundation for the editing process.
Our flat-fee pricing means you know your total investment upfront. No surprises, no additional charges, and no watching the word count to avoid extra fees.
Building upon the foundation of your manuscript, we work collaboratively to address any structural issues. This may involve restructuring chapters, adjusting the sequence of events, or strengthening the overall narrative arc. Our editors provide valuable suggestions and insights to enhance the story's flow, creating a captivating reading experience.
In the final stage of the book editing process, our editors conduct a thorough review to ensure that all edits and revisions have been incorporated seamlessly. We pay close attention to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting, ensuring that your manuscript adheres to industry standards. The goal is to deliver a polished, error-free manuscript that is ready for publication or submission to literary agents.
Professional book editing can significantly enhance the quality of your manuscript. Expert editors bring a fresh perspective to your work, providing valuable insights, feedback, and suggestions to improve the plot, character development, pacing, clarity, and overall effectiveness of your writing. They help eliminate errors, strengthen your voice, and ensure your message is conveyed with precision and impact.
