Fiction & Non-Fiction. Editing, Proofreading, Manuscript Development

Your editor will pick up any inconsistencies and plot holes while also considering sentence construction, word choice, and characterisation.
Working closely with you, they will address any issues and offer suggestions for improvement. Grammar, punctuation & spelling are corrected.
You will then receive a line by line analysis of your manuscript with recommendations and advice.
Throughout the editorial process, you can video call with your editor, discuss the suggestions given, even get help with character development and scene-setting.
This service also includes assistance with writing blurbs, choosing the right cover, and how to market the finished masterpiece.
You've probably spent years pouring yourself into your book. Paid for editing. Agonised over social media. Taken a hundred different author photos. All to make you look as professional as possible. Don't let all that hard work go to waste because of an inconsistent margin or missing page break between chapters.
