Developmental Edit

You'll need a developmental edit if you're concerned about any of the following:

Plot & Story

If there's something not quite coming together with the story or if there are too many plots and subplots and you're not sure what to cut.

Character Consistency

Are your characters not behaving? Do they come across as not liking each other when they should or vice versa?

Pacing

If you've been given feedback that your story is reading too slow or is feeling rushed.

Copy Edit

You'll need a copy edit if you're concerned about any of the following:

Quality of Writing

A copy edit helps identify and correct grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and inconsistencies. Additionally, a copy edit can refine the author's style and tone, making the writing more engaging for the audience.

Style Consistency

You might want to consider a copy edit if you're writing in a different style to what you're used to.

Being Prepared

If you're considering submitting your work to an agency or publishing house, a copy edit could help boost your chances of being selected. The less work publishers and agents have to put into a manuscript could mean a higher chance of acceptance.

If you're wanting to submit your work to an agency or publishing house, take the stress off yourself and book in to have an experienced editor make sure there are no spelling or grammar mistakes to keep you up at night.

You're taking the leap and self publishing your work. Your audience expect a professional standard and you don't want an embarrassing typo to come back and haunt you.

If you're a translator or having your work translated into English, you'll want a fresh pair of eyes to read over your manuscript and make sure everything sounds the way it's meant to.

Proofread

You'll need a proofread if you're concerned about any of the following:

Submitting Your Work

Self Publishing

Translation Checks

Typesetting

Typesetting is usually the last step in your self publishing journey. You'll send your completed manuscript as well as any acknowledgements, dedications, contents pages, etc., to us where we'll turn your content into a file ready for publication.

You'll be able to choose from a wide variety of fonts, ornamental breaks, drop caps, titles etc., to truly customise your book and make it your own.

You can also choose what format you would like to publish your book in. Choosing either epub or pdf (for ebook or print), or both.
