Get a big-picture evaluation of your manuscript. We focus on your story's structure, pacing, and character development to ensure everything flows naturally and keeps readers engaged from start to finish.
This stage refines your sentences for clarity, tone, rhythm, and grammatical accuracy. We smooth awkward phrasing, tighten language, and polish every detail, ensuring your voice shines through in a clean, professional read.
Depending on your package, you'll receive direct communication with your assigned editor, from detailed feedback to revision discussions, so you stay in control every step of the way.
Stay on schedule with fast, reliable editing services that deliver exceptional quality.
We partner with you until your manuscript meets its highest potential.
We follow a transparent, step-by-step editing workflow so you always know what's happening, why it matters, and what you'll receive at each stage. Every manuscript is assigned an editor who guides the process from kickoff to finalization and publication-ready handoff.
After onboarding, you meet your assigned editor for a 30–60 minute briefing (phone or video). We review your book goals, target audience, comparable titles, preferred tone, and any reference materials. We confirm the current manuscript status (outline, partial draft, full draft), agreed deliverables, deadlines, and the best channels for ongoing communication.
What you'll get:
• A written Project Brief summarizing goals, scope, timeline, and success criteria.
• A shared project plan with milestones and expected turnaround times.
Why it Matters: This meeting ensures the editor understands your creative intent and that both parties have the same expectations, reducing rework and keeping the project efficient.
Your editor performs a comprehensive read of the full manuscript (or the submitted portion). They prepare a detailed Editorial Report that addresses big-picture elements: story structure, plot/argument flow, pacing, character arcs or chapter logic, theme clarity, point of view consistency, and market fit. The report includes prioritised recommendations (what to fix first), concrete examples, and suggested approaches for revision.
Typical contents of the report:
• Executive summary (strengths + primary concerns)
• Chapter-by-chapter notes and examples
• Suggested structural changes (reordering chapters, combining scenes, subplot adjustments)
• A prioritized revision checklist
What you'll get:
• Annotated manuscript (high-level comments)
• PDF or doc Editorial Report with action items
• Optional recorded walkthrough or follow-up call to discuss the report
Why it Matters: This stage converts broad impressions into a clear action plan, so revision work is focused and effective rather than guesswork.
You revise according to the Editorial Report. Depending on your preference, revisions may be done section or chapter-by-chapter basis. The editor provides targeted feedback on each submission: questions to clarify intent, line suggestions, and examples of possible rewrites. We offer regular check-ins (weekly/biweekly) or asynchronous feedback, whichever matches your schedule.
How feedback is delivered:
• Inline comments in tracked changes (MS Word) or annotation tools (Google Docs, PDF comments).
• Short memos summarizing the main objectives for each revision round.
• Optional coaching sessions to workshop difficult scenes or chapter transitions.
Turnaround & cadence:
• Typical feedback turnaround: 48–72 hours for chapter-level notes; 5–14 days for larger sections (timeline varies with scope, can be discussed as per your timeline).
• We use sprint-style deliverables (1–3 week cycles) to maintain momentum and measurable progress.
Why it Matters: This collaborative loop keeps the manuscript moving forward while preserving creative intent. It's where the draft starts turning into a coherent, stronger book.
Once developmental issues are addressed, the editor performs line-level and copy editing. This stage focuses on sentence clarity, rhythm, word choice, dialogue, consistency, grammar, and punctuation. The editor also enforces a style guide (house or client-specific), standardizes metadata (names, places, timelines), and flags factual inconsistencies.
What you'll Get:
• Tracked-change manuscript with line edits and comments.
• A copyediting style sheet (record of stylistic choices and changes).
• Query list for any unresolved author decisions.
Why it Matters: Line editing transforms readable prose into compelling prose. It's the difference between "good enough" and professional publication quality.
After you accept the revised manuscript, we complete a final read to confirm consistency, fix lingering queries, and ensure the manuscript meets the agreed standard. We prepare a concise Final Editorial Report summarizing key changes, unresolved queries, and recommendations for the next production stages (design, typesetting, proofing). Your manuscript is passed directly to our in-house production team (designers, formatters) with full editorial notes and context, no re-intake required.
What You'll Get:
• Final manuscript (clean and tracked-change versions)
• Final Editorial Report and style sheet
• Production brief for design/formatting teams
Why it Matters: This step guarantees a smooth transition into layout, proofreading, and publishing, maintaining editorial integrity and reducing delays or miscommunication.
