The Right Level of Editing for Your Manuscript

A first draft needs different help from a manuscript that is almost ready to publish. Tell us where yours stands, and your consultant will recommend what it needs.

Developmental Editing

Focuses on structure, organisation, ideas and overall manuscript strength. We look at whether your chapters are in the right order and whether your story or argument holds together.

Best for: first drafts and books that need shaping

Line Editing

Improves sentence quality, tone, flow and writing style. We tighten wordy passages and smooth awkward phrasing so every line reads well.

Best for: fiction, memoir, self-help and essays

Copy Editing

Reviews grammar, consistency and language accuracy. Spelling, punctuation, names, terms and style stay uniform from the first page to the last.

Best for: almost every manuscript before design

Proofreading

Provides the final review before publication. We catch the small errors that remain once your book has been designed, so the finished pages read clean.

Best for: every book, as the last step

Quality Review

An additional review that confirms consistency and publishing readiness, so you can approve your book with full confidence.

Best for: a final confidence check before it goes live
Editor’s note: subject–verb agreement and tense corrected. Tone and word choices left unchanged.

Every change is shown, so you stay in control of your book.
