BOOK EDITING SERVICES

Editing is where good books become great—and where clichés go to retire. Our editors are friendly assassins of fluff and fearless guardians of your voice. We fix the sentence while protecting the soul.

Editing Paths
  • Manuscript Review — diagnostic memo, margin notes, next‑step priorities.
  • Developmental Editing — structure, pacing, argument, character arcs, clarity of promise.
  • Line Editing — style, rhythm, diction, transitions, readability line by line.
  • Copyediting — grammar, usage, consistency, citations, house style.
  • Proofreading — last‑pass typos, pagination checks, layout polish.

We use style guides that match your market (Chicago, AP, MLA, or custom). We’ll propose a clean edit schedule with built‑in room for life’s surprises. We prefer fewer, happier rounds to a dozen frantic ones.
