1. Free Editorial Assessment
Send us your manuscript (or a substantial sample), and we’ll assess the opening chapters.
You’ll receive a recommendation on whether the book would benefit from:
Developmental editing (big-picture structure and storytelling)
Copy-editing (clarity, consistency, grammar, and style)
Proofreading (final polish before publication)
We’ll also explain why we’re recommending that stage, so you can make an informed decision.
2. Developmental Editing
This is the big-picture edit.
Your editor looks at the structure of the manuscript, including:
You’ll receive a detailed editorial report and in-line comments throughout the manuscript, giving you clear guidance on what to strengthen and how to approach revisions.
Think of this as improving the foundation of the book before we polish the language.
3. Your Revision Stage
You revise the manuscript using the developmental feedback.
Many authors take a few weeks to work through the suggestions before returning the manuscript for the next stage.
4. Copy-Editing
Once the structure is solid, we move to the sentence-level edit.
We refine:
grammar and punctuation
spelling and typos
repetition and word choice
awkward or unclear sentences
consistency of names, timelines, and formatting
overall readability while preserving your voice
You’ll receive the manuscript with tracked changes, so you can review and approve every edit.
5. Proofreading
This is the final quality check after the manuscript has been typeset for print or prepared for eBook formatting.
We check for:
remaining typos
punctuation slips
formatting inconsistencies
page-break issues
headers, chapter titles, and front/back matter errors
Proofreading should be the last editorial step before publication.
