What We Do
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing is a thorough analysis of the content, focusing on broad aspects of the manuscript. This is a collaborative process that typically includes receiving specific feedback and suggestions for rewrites, all aimed at enhancing the overall impact of the work. Developmental editing turns good ideas into great stories. Only after you have revised, reshaped, and developed your manuscript will it be ready for a copy edit and proofread. Cost - $0.032/word
Copy Editing
Copy editing is all about polishing the text. It involves the meticulous correction of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and syntax. The primary responsibility of a copy editor is to maintain writing clarity and consistency, under the appropriate style guide (we use The Chicago Manual unless otherwise requested). Additionally, they verify factual correctness and identify any potential legal concerns. Think of it as the finishing touch that will ensure the manuscript shines in the spotlight. Cost - $0.024/word
Proofreading
Working with a proofreader is the final stage of the editing process. To ensure your book is ready to hit the presses (or the digital publisher), a proofreader will step in and double-check everything. They’ll make sure that your book is free from spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other issues that could spoil a reader’s enjoyment of your writing. Cost - $0.017/word
