Comprehensive editing services for authors and publishers worldwide
Explore developmental, copy, and line editing, proofreading, coaching, and publisher packages—tailored to your manuscript’s needs by our dedicated two-person editorial team.
Manuscript Evaluation
Provides comprehensive feedback on your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, focusing on plot structure, character development, and overall readability. This service is ideal for individuals seeking feedback before starting the editing process. It is also perfect for authors looking to refine their manuscript or first three chapters before submitting to a publisher.
Copy and Line Editing
Line by line, we refine syntax, rhythm, and word choice to improve readability and tone without flattening your style. We correct grammar, usage, and continuity issues, ensure tense and point-of-view consistency, and standardize spelling per Chicago style guidelines. You’ll receive tracked changes, margin comments, and a comprehensive style sheet for future reference. Where needed, we suggest alternatives that preserve intent while sharpening meaning and flow.
Proofreading and Final Polish
The last pass before publication focuses on word-level accuracy: spelling, punctuation, typos, repeated words, and formatting inconsistencies. Proofreading is not a substitute for editing; it is the safety net that catches what remains after prior rounds of revision. Eligible manuscripts receive a careful sweep, plus a style sheet update to lock in technical consistency. Flat-rate pricing is available when combined with copy and line editing.
