Editing that honors your voice, strengthens your story
We help self-published authors and publishers elevate manuscripts with tailored editing that preserves your voice while delivering clarity and confidence.
About The Assembly Literacy Company
The Assembly Literacy Company is currently a dedicated two-person editorial team made up of the founder and a professional proofreader who work closely together to support authors and independent publishers. By keeping our operation intentionally small, we’re able to provide thoughtful communication, personalized feedback, and a collaborative editing experience tailored to each manuscript. Every project receives careful attention from professionals who value storytelling, clarity, and consistency.
As we continue to grow, our vision is to expand our editorial team while maintaining the same personalized approach that authors trust. Whether you’re preparing your first manuscript or refining a book for publication, our goal is to help you strengthen your work while preserving the voice and message that make it uniquely yours.
Our featured editing services
Choose developmental editing, copy and line editing, proofreading, coaching, or full publisher packages—each tailored to your timeline, budget, genre, and publishing goals.
Developmental editing evaluates structure, pacing, and character arcs. Copy and line editing refines tone, syntax, and consistency while honoring your voice. Proofreading eliminates lingering errors in grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Coaching sessions tackle blocks and plot questions, and publisher packages streamline multi-title workflows with consistent editorial support and dependable scheduling from our growing two-person team.
Not sure what you need? Start with a free general consultation. Share a ten-page sample, and we’ll assess the right level of support. You’ll receive a clear scope, flat-rate options when bundled, and a realistic timeline. We follow the Chicago Manual of Style while adapting to genre conventions. Our goal is simple: deliver an edit that reads seamlessly, resonates with your readers, and positions your book for reviews, sales, and longevity.
