Editing Services
When you need a polished manuscript that is expertly edited
Our Most Popular Service!
Comprehensive Editing
4.5 ¢ per word and up
Our Comprehensive Editing Service incorporates both line editing and copy editing as a single service option. Your editor will read through your manuscript two times in order to provide a thorough review at both the sentence and paragraph levels. On the first read-through, your editor will perform a detailed examination of each sentence in order to address technical aspects such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and usage. The second read-through will focus on enhancing style, refining phrasing, and ensuring a smooth flow of ideas, while also improving clarity and eliminating redundancies. In addition, your editor will check for consistency in language and formatting, ensuring adherence to style guidelines like APA, MLA, and Chicago. This thorough editing process is essential for transforming a good manuscript into a polished, professional piece of writing.
Content Editing
6 ¢ per word and up
Our Content Editing Service (also known as developmental editing) is often the first stage of editing and focuses on the overall structure and content of your manuscript. It addresses big-picture elements, ensuring the work is well-organized, cohesive, and effectively communicates its intended message or story. Your editor will help refine your manuscript at a fundamental level, offering suggestions for revisions, which may require substantial rewriting and reorganization. Your editor will provide up to two rounds of feedback to help shape and refine your manuscript into a well-crafted and compelling piece of work. This service is ideal for the first-time author who may not be as confident in their writing, as well as the seasoned professional.
Proofreading
1.75 ¢ per word and up
Our Proofreading Service ensures your final manuscript is error-free and publication-ready. As the last stage of the writing process, your editor will conduct a careful review of your document to correct any lingering errors or mistakes. Your editor will also ensure accurate page formatting, line spacing, and typography throughout before your work gets published. If your document is nearly complete and needs a final polish, then this service is ideal for you. When you use our formatting services, we will suggest this final review to make sure that your manuscript is in top shape and ready for publishing.
