Our Book Editing Services

We refine manuscripts with a focus on clarity, coherence, and voice consistency, so your work feels deliberate, credible, and ready to stand on its own.

Developmental Editing

Shape the book’s progression, chapter logic, and narrative arc to address the big questions around structure, messaging consistency, and audience relevance. This comprehensive review is especially useful at the outline or early-draft stage.

Rewriting and Refinement

Rewrite sections to fix issues such as message dilution and flow disruption, and improve readability with storytelling. Tighten the language, while preserving the author’s vision and voice.

Light-touch Editing and Proofreading

Review the manuscript for language accuracy, choice of words, writing style, and clarity of ideas. Conduct minor fixes to ensure smooth transitions between paragraphs, arguments line up, and the book holds together as a complete piece of work.

Editorial Consulting

Work through conversations and reviews to clarify thinking, sharpen perspective, and bring intent to the surface before or during writing. This creates alignment between what you want to say and how it finally reads.

Why Professional Book Editing Matters

“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.” 

— Arthur Plotnik, Former Editorial Director of the American Library Association Editions

Frequently asked questions

We’re happy to answer any questions or discuss your communication goals. Let’s talk about how we can help your brand grow.

How do you ensure the writing sounds like me and not the ghostwriter?
We study your existing communication—presentations, LinkedIn posts, interview transcripts—to understand your natural style, including sentence structure and the vocabulary you prefer. Most importantly, we capture your thoughts and perspectives that bring out your authentic voice consistently. When done right, you should read the draft and think: “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.”
Your time is valuable, so we make every interaction purposeful. Most projects begin with a few structured conversations that extract your ideas and key experiences. From there, we handle research, outlining, drafting, and editing. You review drafts at defined checkpoints, which makes it collaborative rather than consuming.
That’s where ghostwriting begins. We work with you to refine your ideas, using free-flowing and structured discussions to capture your thoughts and perspectives. We help you identify recurring themes, central arguments, and a natural narrative arc.
We work under non-disclosure agreements, and only team members who are directly involved in your project have access to drafts, interviews, and research.
Absolutely. Many of our projects start with rough drafts or half-finished manuscripts. We evaluate what’s working, where the gaps are, and how to elevate the tone, flow, and argument structure. Think of it as editorial architecture, reshaping and refining without losing the essence of your voice or intent.
