Line Editing
What is line editing and why do you need it?
Line editing, also known as stylistic editing or substantive editing, is a comprehensive and in-depth form of editing that focuses on improving the overall quality and style of your manuscript at the sentence and paragraph level. It goes beyond basic proofreading and addresses issues related to language, clarity, coherence, and readability. During line editing, your editor meticulously evaluates the manuscript's flow, tone, pacing, and voice, making adjustments to enhance the overall structure and ensure a captivating reading experience. This editing process involves refining sentence structures, rephrasing awkward or confusing passages, eliminating redundancies, and improving the use of language, all while preserving the author's unique voice and intention. Line editing is an essential step in the book editing process, as it helps elevate the writing to a professional standard, making the text more engaging, compelling, and impactful for readers.
This package is for you if all of the following are true:
-
You have a finished manuscript.
-
Your manuscript has gone through multiple drafts (a minimum of three is recommended).
-
You feel it is complete in both content and structure, requiring no further rewrites before line editing begins.
-
Your manuscript has not yet been professionally edited.
To kick things off, we start with a free no-obligation 30-minute Zoom discovery call. If we’re a good fit for you, we’ll have you submit your completed manuscript so we can initiate the line editing process.
We provide:
-
a line-by-line edit of your manuscript with the goal of elevating the prose where needed while still maintaining your voice and tone.
-
word choice recommendations, sentence improvement suggestions, and overall polishing.
-
thorough check of punctuation, syntax, grammar, and spelling.
What you get:
A line-edited manuscript with detailed notes and recommendations. Once changes have been implemented, your manuscript is ready to be formatted for publishing.
Book Layout & Formatting
(including Copy Editing
and Proofreading)
What is book formatting and why do you need it?
Book layout and formatting is the art of arranging and structuring the visual elements of a book to enhance its readability, aesthetics, and overall impact. It goes beyond just choosing fonts and margins; it encompasses the thoughtful arrangement of chapters, headings, images, and whitespace. Effective book layout and formatting play a crucial role in capturing readers' attention, providing a seamless reading experience, and conveying the author's message with clarity and professionalism.
A copy edit will address grammatical or punctuation errors, incorrect facts, inconsistencies and any blatant typos.
Proofreading in this case, is the final stage of the editing process and focuses on identifying and rectifying mistakes that may have been missed during earlier rounds of editing. Additionally, we pay attention to formatting details such as headings, page numbers, table of contents, and citations to ensure they are accurate and correctly aligned.
This package is for you if all of the following are true:
-
You have a finished manuscript.
-
It no longer requires any changes or updates to the content or structure.
-
A professional line (or developmental) edit has been completed on the manuscript.
To begin, schedule a free no-obligation 30-minute Zoom discovery call to discuss your project. If we’re a good fit for you, we’ll have you submit your completed manuscript on a Word doc.
What we do:
-
First, we perform a thorough copy edit of your manuscript, checking for proper punctuation, syntax, grammar, and spelling.
-
Your book interior is then formatted (for both print and ebook editions), turning your manuscript into an industry-standard typeset design.
-
Also included is a standard header, page numbers, and optional author-provided graphics or photos (up to 10) if needed.
-
Finally, we proofread the formatted book, double and triple-checking to ensure that any errors have been found and corrected.
What you get:
Upon completion, you will receive your formatted book interior as a pdf file (for the print version) and an epub file (for the eBook version). Both are upload ready.

Ghostwriting
What is ghostwriting and why might you need it?
Ghostwriting provides you with the opportunity to bring your ideas to life, to enhance your writing skills, or save you time by outsourcing the writing process to a professional, ensuring high-quality and polished content.
Maybe you’re an expert in your field but lack the time it requires to create a book from scratch. Or you have a great message you feel compelled to share, but you don’t have the writing skills. Then again, you might already have a written manuscript but know it needs extensive reworking before it can be published.
We’ll match one of our skilled writers to create written content on your behalf. The ghostwriter's role is to capture your ideas, voice, and perspective, and transform them into a coherent and engaging piece of prose. The ghostwriter remains anonymous and does not take credit for the work. The ideas are yours. It's your voice. You are the author.
