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
