Our copyediting service is a technical pass to make sure your prose is correct, clear, and consistent (the three C's of copyediting). This includes correcting errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling; improving readability on the sentence level; and verifying internal consistency for facts, timelines, and style choices. Our default style guide is The Chicago Manual of Style, but we are happy to accommodate your specific in-house style guide upon request.

Copyediting levels can range from light to heavy and will be determined after we see a writing sample.

To keep your manuscript consistent, this service includes a customized style sheet that tracks character names, capitalized terms, and ongoing style choices. You will also receive one hour of follow-up support to answer your questions and review changes once the edit is complete.

Our copyediting service is recommended for almost every book, and is an important step before you submit to literary agents or self-publish.
