From structural issues to the last misplaced comma, we go through your manuscript at every level before it goes anywhere near a reader.
Different manuscripts need different kinds of attention. Here is what we offer and what each one actually does to your book.
Big picture review of your manuscript's structure, pacing, and narrative arc before anyone works on the sentences.
Close read of every paragraph for clarity, tone, and flow so the writing does more than just make technical sense.
Grammar, punctuation, consistency, and style checked across the full manuscript so nothing slips through to the final version.
Last pass before print, catching anything that survived earlier rounds and making sure the finished file goes out clean.
Detailed written evaluation of your manuscript's strengths and weaknesses before you commit to a full edit.
Read-through focused on how specific communities and experiences are represented, with notes on anything worth revisiting.
Before we quote or schedule anything, we read through a sample of your manuscript to understand what it needs and which type of editing is the right starting point.
If your manuscript needs structural work, we start here, looking at the big picture before anything else so line-level edits are not made on top of chapters that might move.
Once the structure is solid, we go through every paragraph for clarity, tone, grammar, and consistency, working through the manuscript in full.
We send back the edited manuscript with tracked changes and comments so you can see exactly what changed and why, and push back on anything you disagree with.
After you have reviewed the edits, we go through your feedback and make any further changes before moving to the final pass.
A clean read of the finished manuscript before it goes to formatting or publishing, making sure nothing got missed or introduced during earlier rounds.
