LET US HELP YOU TAKE YOUR STORY TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Our team of professional editors are friendly, encouraging, and thoughtful when it comes to editing your story. We understand the care and dedication you took while writing it, and we would love to be part of your publishing journey.
Take a look through our editing page to learn more about the types of editing we offer, get to know our editors, and understand our rates.
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
Developmental editing is the first stage of the editing process. It looks at the story in an in-depth review, analysing the plot, characters, worldbuilding, pacing, and much more to make sure your story is unforgettable!
You'll receive a detailed report alongside in-line commenting.
MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT
If you're not quite ready to take the plunge into heavy editing, like developmental editing, a manuscript assessment could be right for you!
We'll do a thorough read-through of your work and provide a short, but detailed, report on areas of development and suggest ways to enhance your story.
COPY/LINE EDITING
Copyediting (also known as line editing) is the second stage of the editing process. It analyses the text at sentence level to ensure the reader gets the best story experience. It will assess consistency, flow, syntax, grammar – both erroneous and stylistic – to make your work shine!
You'll receive in-line changes and comments alongside a style guide.
ALPHA READING
Where beta readers read a story after it's been revised, alpha readers (usually editors) read a story in its earliest first draft.
Alpha reading aims to provide direction on a story that needs some guiding on its way to being great! You’ll receive a short report with some broad-scale feedback.
PROOFREADING
Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. It checks for any last-minute spelling, grammar, and formatting errors that may have slipped in/been overlooked.
We'll double check spelling, grammar, and overall look, to ensure your book is perfect and ready for publication.
BETA READING
Beta readers can be used at multiple stages of your book’s journey, most notably after editing but before ARC readers. Betas are the first readers of a fully completed manuscript to ‘test’ the waters in the market. Betas provide simple feedback as to whether the story was enjoyable and will point out areas that could still need some attention.
