And he said unto me, “Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:5

Jeremiah 30v2 Publishing Services can edit all genres of books, including: Fiction Nonfiction Children’s books Poetry Self-help Cookbooks Memoirs Marketing copy Bible curriculum Christian devotionals Newsletters and articles Website content

We at Jeremiah 30v2 Publishing are open to publishing non-Christian works, including cookbooks, copy for blog sites, children’s books, and newsletters, for example. However, we reserve the right to decline any writings that conflict with our Statement of Faith include profanity, or that promote values contrary to Christian beliefs. Each manuscript is reviewed carefully to ensure it aligns with our mission and values as a Christian publishing company. Furthermore, we may also refuse manuscripts that are beyond our scope of expertise.

We offer multiple editing services including content editing, comprehensive editing, and proofreading. The typical editing process involves all three services. Any service is available, regardless of whether you choose to publish your document with us. Included with every work/book containing scripture references is a thorough review of every verse to verify that each one is accurately worded and properly cited.

No, we do not offer a tier with unlimited edits. Like many authors, you may feel the urge to revise your manuscript multiple times in pursuit of perfection. However, to effectively manage our time across all clients, each editing service includes a limited number of edits. If you make significant revisions after we complete editing, additional charges may apply. Major rewrites and new additions are considered new material, which will increase the word count and the overall cost. However, minor edits and revisions by authors are included in the original pricing and won't incur extra charges. To help keep costs down, we recommend thoroughly revising your manuscript yourself before submitting it to us. Aim for at least three drafts and consider using a beta reading team to catch major issues early. The more polished your manuscript is before it reaches us, the less expensive the editing process will be.

Initial Contact: Begin by reaching out to us through the Contact Form on the Get Started! page. Submit Sample: Send us a sample of either the first chapter or twenty pages of your manuscript in Microsoft Word through the provided link on the Contact Form. Sample Review: We will review your manuscript and perform a sample edit using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature. Discussion and Quote: We will return the sample edit to you and discuss the various levels of editing your manuscript may need, providing an exact quote based on your total word count and specific requirements. Agreement and Contract: Once the level of editing is agreed upon, a contract is signed. You will then send the entire manuscript and the first agreed-upon payment to the editor. Editing Begins: The editor starts editing and keeps you informed of the progress. Author Review: The edited manuscript is returned to you for review, via Microsoft Word using the Track Changes tool. Collaboration: Throughout the editing stages, the author and editor work together to address any concerns and problem areas in the manuscript. Final Manuscript: The final edited manuscript is returned to you if we do not format and publish your document. Final payment will then be due. Publishing: If you opt for us to publish your manuscript as a paperback, hardcover, or eBook, we will handle the formatting and publishing process for you, as well as create an Amazon author page where you can share the most up-to-date information about yourself and your books with millions of readers. We will also connect you with our book cover designer who will create an eye-catching cover that will help your book stand out and get read.

Go to the Get Started! page to fill out the form and contact us. You can upload either the first chapter or twenty pages of your document as a Microsoft Word attachment. All our editors use Microsoft Word for editing purposes, utilizing the Track Changes feature that allows you (the author) to see every suggested edit. Authors can then accept, reject, or modify the edits and make them part of the manuscript. For more help on how to use Microsoft’s Track Changes feature, go to the Track Changes Tab on our website.

We request that all manuscripts be submitted as a Microsoft Word (.docx) file. This enables us to use the Track Changes feature, allowing you to view all suggested edits and either accept, reject, or modify them directly when the manuscript is returned to you. For more information about how to use the Track Changes feature, go to the Track Changes tab on our website.

No, we require manuscripts to be submitted as a Microsoft Word (.docx) format. This is because MS Word's editing features, particularly the “Track Changes” tool, are essential for our editing process and ensure consistency across all projects. If your manuscript is in a different format, you will need to convert it to Microsoft Word. However, please note that this conversion may cause formatting issues. Also, you will need MS Word to view the edits clearly. If you are not familiar with how to do this, please seek assistance, as our expertise is in publishing, not technical support. Your manuscript must have a .docx file extension to be compatible with our editing tools.

We usually ask for half the payment up front and the remaining balance upon completion. We will work with you on a payment plan, if necessary. We accept a variety of payment methods including credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or a money order. We do not take personal checks.

Effective communication between the Client and Publisher is vital for the publishing process. However, most communication will be conducted via email rather than text messages or phone calls. We will strive to respond back to emails in a timely manner—usually within the day. Phone calls will be limited to two instances throughout the entire process and will take place only during work hours to avoid delays and to help the Editor or Publisher be more efficient with their time. If the author desires, we will conduct an initial consultation call after completing a sample edit. Please keep in mind that our team members are also balancing personal responsibilities as spouses, parents, and active members of their churches. We greatly appreciate your trust and are committed to taking care of your manuscript as if it were our own. However, we have many commitments and must balance our time between multiple clients and personal obligations. Therefore, we cannot spend extended periods of time on the phone.

We utilize Microsoft Word’s Track Changes feature to edit your manuscript. If you’re not familiar with this tool, please go to the Track Changes tab for a quick tutorial. Track Changes enables you to see all the suggested* edits made by our editors and allows you to accept, reject, or modify each change. Your manuscript will typically go through multiple rounds of revisions using Track Changes to ensure a thorough review and polished final product. * As with all good copyediting, many of the edits made are only suggestions. The author is invited to read through the edited manuscript and make any changes desired based on the editor’s suggestions, revisions, and professional opinion. It is understood that the book is the property of the author so all final decisions are the author’s. The author is free to accept or reject any recommended changes, as well as make his/her own revisions as he/she reads through the edits.

Book formatting is the process of arranging the interior layout and design of a book to ensure it is visually appealing, easy to read, and meets industry standards for publishing. This process involves adjusting elements such as fonts, margins, spacing, headings, chapter breaks, and pagination. Book formatting also includes incorporating elements like page color, images, charts, graphs, maps, tables, and footnotes, as well as styling chapter titles, section breaks, and other design elements that contribute to the overall look and feel of the book. Proper formatting enhances the reading experience, maintains a professional appearance, and meets the guidelines set by publishers or platforms where the book will be distributed.

Professional book formatting ensures your work looks polished, reads well, and meets industry standards, creating a credible, professional appearance. It ensures compatibility across different platforms, incorporates design elements seamlessly, and reduces technical errors, providing an enjoyable reading experience. By hiring a professional, you save time, reduce stress, and avoid the pitfalls of self-formatting, ensuring your book meets publishing guidelines and makes a positive first impression on readers.

Print Formatting focuses on the layout of physical copies of the book, considering factors like trim size, gutter margins, and the overall aesthetic of the printed page. eBook Formatting adapts the book for digital reading devices, ensuring compatibility across different platforms (like Kindle and Nook). It involves creating a reflowable format that adjusts to different screen sizes, allowing for clickable links, interactive elements, and proper navigation.

Formatting occurs after your manuscript or document has been completely edited. After formatting, your document will be finalized for publishing. If you choose to publish your manuscript with Jeremiah 30v2 Publishing, we will manage every step of the process, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience from start to finish.

Each book is different, and more complex books generally take more time to design. Standard formatting projects typically take two to three weeks from start to finish. Custom design projects typically take four to five weeks.

Once your manuscript is at the formatting stage, no more editing will be performed. Our formatting professionals will be solely focused on the visual and technical aspects of your document. Any editorial corrections you request after formatting will incur additional costs. Once we complete the formatting of your manuscript and feel that it is ready for printing, we will suggest one last round of proofreading to make sure that every page is polished and fit to print.

Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.docx). Tables and other text-based design elements (such as captions, sidebars, or pull quotes) should be included in the manuscript. Images, illustrations, and graphics—including charts and graphs—can be embedded in the manuscript to demonstrate their placement, but every image, illustration, or graphic must also be submitted as a print-ready TIF, PNG, or JPG. We can format a chart or graph for you for an additional charge.

Images are print-ready when they meet the following requirements: High resolution—at least 300 dpi Full size—as large or larger than the size at which they will be printed True color—full color, grayscale, or black-and-white to match how they will be printed Flat—no layers or transparencies are present TIF, PNG, or JPG format Any photo preparation or manipulation services will incur a separate charge. Please contact us to discuss any needs you may have.

Definitely! No matter what the interior of your book includes, our services deliver a professional design in accordance with industry standards, enhancing readability and ensuring a polished, professional appearance.
