services to help new and aspiring authors bring their works to life
by turning manuscripts into published books.
Proofreading involves the identification and correction of
typographical errors, punctuation errors, misspellings, and
formatting inconsistencies.
Copyediting covers the same areas as in proofreading, but
may include grammar, word usage, capitalization, word
breaks, tone, and format.
Developmental / Substantative editing (moderate to heavy)
seeks to achieve clarity of subject, logic, and consistency.
Confusing and awkward writing may be reworked. Sentences
are analyzed for structure/syntax. Long sentences may be
enumerated or separated.
Proofreading, copyediting and substantive editing often occur
simultaneously.
Formatting: When required, style revisions will be suggested
or implemented (e.g., page numbers, margins, headings,
spacing, indentations/paragraphs, quotes, references,
citations, footnotes/ endnotes).
