Editing that keeps your voice, proofreading that catches everything

Developmental, line and copy editing from genre-experienced editors, then a fresh-eyes proofread — available inside a full project or as a standalone service.

Book Editing & Proofreading

Three levels of editing

Developmental editing for structure and story, line editing for rhythm and clarity, copy editing for correctness — applied in the right order.

Your voice, sharpened

Good editing is invisible. We cut what drags and fix what confuses without sanding off the way you write.

Professional proofreading

A final, fresh-eyes pass catches the typos and slips everyone else missed — because errors love finished books.

Everything tracked and explained

Changes arrive as tracked edits with an editor's notes, so you understand every suggestion and approve what stays.

Our process

How it works

  1. Manuscript assessment

    An editor reads your manuscript and recommends the level of editing it actually needs — with a fixed quote before work begins.

  2. Structural and line editing

    Big-picture story and argument first, then sentence-level rhythm and clarity — with tracked changes and editor's notes throughout.

  3. Copy edit

    Grammar, punctuation, consistency and style locked down against a style sheet built for your book.

  4. Proofread and handover

    A final fresh-eyes proofread, then a clean manuscript delivered ready for formatting — with us or anywhere else.

FAQ

Common questions

That's what the assessment is for. An editor reads your manuscript and recommends only what it needs — many books skip straight to line or copy editing.

No — protecting your voice is the brief. All changes are tracked, every note is explained, and you approve everything.

Yes. If your manuscript is already edited, we'll run a standalone proofread as a final pass before you publish.

A copy edit of an average-length book runs two to four weeks; developmental work takes longer. You'll get exact dates with your quote.
