Our first class editing and proofreading services can help you take your manuscript from draft to final polished product. Editing is available as basic copy/line editing and as more advanced developmental editing (where our editor will work with you to improve your writing, focusing on the flow and readability of your book, the continuity of your story or explanations, and ensuring that the book will deliver on reader expectations, as well as addressing basic spelling, grammar and sentence structure issues). We also offer a specialist historical fiction editing service, to help you ensure that your work is historically accurate, yet still relatable for the modern reader.
Proofreading
