Book Editing and Proofreading

Have you written a book? Or are you in the process of writing a book?

Are you looking for a friendly and reliable editor or proofreader to work with you to make your book the best it possibly could be?

We can help!

Our approach towards editing and proofreading is highly collaborative. We enjoy working closely with independent authors and small and medium-sized publishers to polish each book to perfection prior to publication.

How it works: Book Editing and Proofreading

Step 1

Get in touch with us via the Contact Us form or the chat feature on this website.

We will answer your questions and ask you to send the first chapter of your book, as well as the total length of your book in words.

Step 2

We will send you a sample edit or proofread of around 500 to 1,000 words of your book and a proposal and quote for editing or proofreading the whole book. The sample edit or proofread and proposal are free of charge and without any obligation.

Step 3

If you decide to go ahead, we can edit your book on either a chapter-by-chapter or full manuscript basis.

If you haven’t yet completed your book, it can be helpful to work on a chapter-by-chapter basis – many authors find that this promotes closer collaboration and sparks new ideas.

Stage 4

If your book just needs proofreading and you are happy to go ahead, send the final draft of the full manuscript to us by email.

Stage 5

If you wish, you can pay in instalments. In this case, the work will be divided into a number of equal sections, and payment will be required before work can start on each section. Terms and conditions will be provided with your proposal and quote.
