Book editing

A stronger manuscript. Still your voice.

From the shape of a chapter to the rhythm of a sentence, editorial support should make the book clearer without making it sound like somebody else.

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Our editing services.

Your proposal sets out the exact scope, deliverables and review stages before paid work begins.

01

Developmental editing

02

Line & copy editing

Refine expression, grammar, consistency and continuity while keeping the tone recognizable.

03

Proofreading

Check the laid-out pages for remaining spelling, punctuation and formatting issues before production.

04

Author review

Work through editorial notes and revisions with a clear record of changes and questions for your approval.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you turn the page.

What should I bring to our first conversation?+

Your current manuscript or a brief description of it, the approximate word count, intended reader and any target dates. You do not need to send sensitive files through the inquiry form.

Can this service be part of a larger publishing project?+

Yes. We can combine services into one publishing plan, with the sequence and deliverables set out in your written proposal.

How are revisions handled?+

Review points, revision rounds and approval responsibilities are agreed before work begins. Changes outside the original scope should be discussed and quoted separately.
