You've written the book. The next step is a careful read from someone who knows how to make it better without making it theirs. Our editors work line by line, explain the changes they suggest, and hand you back a manuscript you can publish with confidence. Real human editing only! No AI used at any point during the process.
No payment today. We'll give you a quote after reading your manuscript, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Not sure which one your book needs? Mention that in the form, and we'll tell you after we've read a sample.
We look at the whole book: plot, pacing, character, argument, and structure. You get detailed notes throughout the manuscript plus clear direction for your revisions, and we stay available for questions and spot checks once you've made them.
Best for a complete draft you know isn't finished yet.
Line-level refinement of phrasing, dialogue, grammar, organization, consistency, and clarity, down to the smallest proofreading details. Comments throughout explain recurring issues so the next book comes easier.
Best for a finished manuscript with no major revisions planned.
The final pass before publication. Every page is checked for spelling, punctuation, missed or repeated words, and formatting inconsistencies, so readers move through your book without a hitch.
Best for a manuscript that has already been edited.
Most manuscripts come back within 3 weeks of the start date. Length, the state of the draft, and our current schedule all affect that, so we confirm your completion date in writing before any work begins.
Fees depend on word count, the service you need, and the genre. We give you one flat figure for the whole job after reading the manuscript, with no deposit required to get that quote.
Share a few basics through the form below, including your estimated word count.
We ask for the manuscript, confirm which service fits, and send you a fixed price and a completion date.
Real people, not AI. You'll know who is reading your book and can write to them directly.
Tracked changes, margin comments, and a short summary letter. Questions afterwards are included.
Fiction or non-fiction, first novel or tenth, the process is the same. Illustrations of what our editors mark up on a page.
Anything not covered here, just ask. We answer every message ourselves.
Yes. Every edit is done by a professional editor working in your genre. We don't run manuscripts through AI tools, and we'll tell you who your editor is before work starts.
A Word document (.doc or .docx) works best, since we edit with tracked changes. If your manuscript lives somewhere else, that's ok. We can work with any file type.
We usually take manuscripts from around 20,000 words and up. Shorter work, such as novellas, short story collections, and children's books are welcome too, just ask.
Either. Tell us which one you want, and we'll apply it consistently, including spelling, punctuation, and dialogue styling.
Covers are what we're known for. Mention it in your message, and we'll quote the editing, and the cover together.
No. Ask as many questions as you like before deciding. There's nothing to pay until you've seen the price and agreed to it.
