Top Questions About Book Editing Services
Copy editing focuses on sentence structure, word choice, syntax, voice consistency, and factual clarity. Proofreading is the very last step in the production cycle, intended to catch typographical errors, misspellings, punctuation slips, and formatting inconsistencies in the final proof before printing.
We use Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature for full transparency. You will be able to review every single insertion, deletion, and marginal comment, giving you the final authority to accept or reject any suggested edit.
Depending on word count and the level of editing required, most full-length books take between two to four weeks. We provide clear milestone schedules prior to commencing work.
Never. Our prime directive is to enhance your distinctive voice, not replace it. We eliminate distractions, clunky syntax, and redundancies so your natural storytelling and expertise can shine through uninhibited.
