Overview
What this service covers
Developmental editing looks at structure, pacing and argument. Copyediting fixes grammar, consistency and style. Proofreading is the final check for typos after layout.
Doing them in the wrong order wastes money. We recommend the sequence that fits your draft and track changes so you stay in control.

FAQ
Book Editing & Proofreading: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between editing and proofreading?
Editing improves the writing itself. Proofreading checks a near-final version for remaining errors.
Do I need both?
Most books benefit from both, at different stages.
Can I see a sample edit?
Yes. A sample on a short excerpt helps you judge fit.
Will you change my voice?
No. Editors improve clarity while preserving style.
