We First Understand Your Book
Editing is about more than correcting words, it’s about understanding your story’s soul. Before we make a single change, we take the time to learn your book’s purpose, tone, and audience. Our editors start with a developmental overview: analyzing structure, plot clarity, character depth, and pacing to ensure everything fits seamlessly. We discuss our findings with you, aligning on the best direction before diving into detailed edits.
Then, we move line by line, refining language, improving readability, and maintaining your authentic voice. Every change comes with margin notes and tracked edits, keeping you fully in control. We highlight what’s strong, gently guide what needs tightening, and offer actionable suggestions instead of rigid corrections. Most projects go through two thoughtful rounds of editing, though we remain flexible until your story feels complete. The outcome is a polished, genre-appropriate manuscript, ready to connect with readers and stand out in the market.
