The Editing Process

Whether this is your first or tenth book, your manuscript is going to require editing to transform it from a draft into a well-written, reader-ready book. Luckily, we editors have a system in place to get your book in tip-top shape, starting with macro-level edits and progressing step by step to the finer details that ensure an immaculate reading experience:

1. Developmental Editing

2. Rewriting

3. Line Editing

4. Copyediting

5. Proofreading

Developmental Editing

We begin the editing process by examining your book at a macro level. Here are some questions we address to ensure your book is both well-developed and aligned with your business goals:

• Is your topic well-defined, or does it need refining?
• Are your target audience and key takeaways clear?
• Is your unique value proposition effectively communicated?
• Is your text cohesive and thorough, or do certain sections need to be restructured and/or expanded upon?

Edits are provided as comments in the margins and/or at the end of your manuscript. Additionally, 1:1 meetings before and after edits may be needed to develop your ideas and discuss suggested changes.

Rewriting

Perhaps your draft feels more like 200 pages of notes you’re not sure what to do with.

Or you’ve decided to change direction after receiving feedback on your manuscript.

Or your draft is in good shape overall, but a pesky section still needs reworking.

The book writing process is dynamic. Whether you need to refine specific sections or rewrite your entire manuscript, we’re here to help. Together, we’ll shape your manuscript into a book that reflects your vision and propels your business forward.

Line Editing

From words on a page to a page-turner! Once your book’s overarching structure and messaging are all set, we can dive into the text itself. At this stage, we edit line by line to ensure that your writing is polished, aligns with your brand’s desired tone, and provides your readers with an enjoyable, engaging reading experience.

With line edits, we frequently suggest thousands of revisions. But you needn’t worry; some of the best books we’ve edited have needed extensive changes. That’s just part of the process!

Copyediting

We’re getting there! Now that we’ve taken care of bigger picture edits, it’s time to focus on the finer details: grammar, diction and flow.

These edits will elevate your text and position you and your business or organization as one that values professionalism and quality.

Proofreading

You’ve made it to final touches, how exciting! This is where we ensure that no misplaced punctuation marks, spelling mistakes or capitalization errors slip through the cracks. Your text is now spotless and reader-ready! Congratulations!
