Book Editing & Proofreading
Developmental, line and copy editing — plus a final proofread that catches what the earlier passes missed.
These are four different jobs and they are not interchangeable. Structural problems cannot be fixed by fixing commas, and a proofreader reading the edited manuscript instead of the typeset pages will miss the errors that typesetting introduces.
What’s included
- Developmental edit on structure, argument and pace
- Line edit for rhythm, clarity and voice
- Copyedit for grammar, consistency and fact-checking
- Proofread on the typeset pages, by fresh eyes
- Every change tracked, and every change yours to reject
How It Works
Six stages, every one visible to you
Onboarding
You are assigned a dedicated project manager who stays with the book to the end — not a queue, and not a new name every fortnight.
Strategy
We write down how the book gets made and what success looks like, and you approve it before any production begins.
Milestones
The project is broken into milestones with real dates, so progress is never something you have to ask about.
Production
A team matched to your genre does the work, following your instructions and holding your voice.
Originality
Everything is written by people. AI drafting does not carry emotion, and readers can tell.
Results
We deliver what was scoped, on the dates agreed. Your satisfaction is the only measure that counts.
