The first step in the book editing and formatting process is a review of your manuscript. Our team will read through the entire thing to evaluate the overall structure, flow and quality of your writing and identify areas that need work. We’ll also consult with you to understand your goals, preferred style and any specific requirements so we can tailor our approach for the editing or formatting process.

Once we know your vision we’ll get into developmental editing where we focus on the content’s structure, pacing and overall readability. This stage addresses plot holes, character development (for fiction) and clarity for non-fiction. We’ll make sure your manuscript is well organized and engaging and help you create a cohesive story or argument.

In this stage, we review your manuscript meticulously for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency. Our line editors will focus on sentence structure, word choice, and clarity while maintaining your voice. We’ll also check for any minor errors and inconsistencies so your manuscript is distraction-free and error-free before the final step.

After editing, we move on to formatting your manuscript for print and digital platforms. This includes adjusting margins, fonts, headers, and page numbers for print books and optimizing the layout for e-books to ensure compatibility with Kindle, Apple Books, and other platforms. Our goal is to make your book look professional and reader-friendly on all devices and formats.
