Core Editorial Services
These are the building blocks of a good book: grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. It is absolutely necessary for self publishing authors to run a comprehensive edit on their manuscript before publishing a book.
Advanced Editorial Services
Smarter indie publishers know that sometimes manuscripts need specialized attention that goes beyond the basics of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Our experienced editors take a more extensive look at your book's content and make high-level stylistic considerations to different aspects of your book, including content, plot, and pace.
