This is big-picture editing for manuscripts that need structural work. Our developmental editors analyse your story’s foundation, plot structure, character development, pacing, narrative arc, and thematic consistency. If your manuscript feels like something’s missing or not quite working, developmental editing identifies exactly what needs fixing. We provide detailed feedback on story logic, character motivations, scene structure, and overall narrative flow. Ideal for first drafts or manuscripts that have received feedback indicating structural issues.
Copy editing focuses on the sentence level, grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and style consistency. Our copy editors refine your writing while preserving your unique voice, correcting errors, improving clarity, and ensuring consistency throughout your manuscript. This service is perfect for manuscripts that are structurally sound but need professional polish before publication.
Line editing sits between developmental and copy editing, focusing on how your story is told at the sentence and paragraph level. Our line editors improve flow, rhythm, word choice, and emotional impact. We tighten prose, eliminate redundancy, enhance descriptions, and ensure every sentence serves your story. This editing level transforms good writing into great writing.
Proofreading is the final quality check before publication. Our proofreaders catch typos, formatting inconsistencies, grammatical errors, and layout issues that slipped through previous editing rounds. This is essential for manuscripts that have already been edited but need one last professional review to ensure they’re flawless.
Not sure what level of editing your manuscript needs? Our manuscript assessment service provides professional feedback on your work’s strengths, weaknesses, and recommended next steps. You’ll receive a detailed editorial report outlining what’s working, what needs improvement, and which editing services would benefit your manuscript most.
