Your book represents a significant achievement, and ensuring its quality is paramount. A polished, error-free manuscript is key to being taken seriously as an author.

To get started on this journey, we require an initial billing of $350, which serves as a non-refundable down payment to kickstart the professional copyediting review of your work. This payment will be seamlessly applied to your final editing cost and will cover the first 15,000 words of your manuscript.

The precise final cost will be determined based on the total word count of your manuscript, beyond the initial 15,000 words. You'll be billed at a rate of 2.8 cents per word

Beyond the tasks covered in a copy edit (see below), we take your manuscript to the next level. We restructure sentences, paragraphs, and chapters where needed, ensuring your writing flows seamlessly. Our macro-level focus fine-tunes style and consistency—abbreviations, numbers, hyphenation, you name it. We're your quality guardians, enhancing organization, transitions, tone, voice, and complexity. For fiction, we're the detectives hunting plot holes and character inconsistencies, offering suggestions on dialogue, pace, and clarity.

Our editing journey includes two comprehensive rounds:

Developmental Edit: Crafting the big picture.

Copy Edit: Polishing every detail.

We're your go-to for a thorough, line-by-line technical check, leaving no typo unturned—spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure all get our attention. We're not just about fixing errors; we fine-tune language usage and offer subtle style suggestions to enhance the text's flow. Rest assured, your manuscript will be technically flawless and primed for typesetting and layout.

Our editing journey comprises three essential rounds:

Initial Copy Edit: Our meticulous groundwork.

Review of Your Revisions: Collaborative refinement.

Post-Production Proofread: The final precision pass.

The purpose of formatting in the context of book publishing is to ensure that the written content and design of a book are presented consistently, professionally, and in a visually appealing manner. It involves preparing the manuscript for publication, so it meets the specific requirements of the chosen publishing platform, be it for print or digital distribution. Proper formatting is crucial for several reasons:

Readability: Well-formatted content is easy to read, which enhances the reader's experience. It includes consistent fonts, line spacing, margins, and more.

Professionalism: A professionally formatted book conveys a level of quality and care that can impact the author's reputation and the reader's perception of the content.

Compatibility: Different publishing platforms have various formatting requirements, and adhering to these standards is essential to ensure your book is accepted for publication.

Consistency: Proper formatting ensures a consistent look and feel throughout the book, maintaining a uniform style and design.

Avoiding Errors: Formatting helps prevent common issues like widows, orphans, and awkward page breaks, which can distract readers.

Formatting is highly important, as it directly affects the quality and readability of your book. A poorly formatted book can turn readers away and damage your reputation as an author. In contrast, a well-formatted book can enhance the reader's experience and increase the chances of positive reviews and recommendations.

Most print-on-demand (POD) services, commonly used by authors, have specific file requirements for publishing. These platforms require authors to submit files that meet their standards to ensure successful printing and distribution. Ignoring these requirements can lead to issues with printing, delays, or even rejection of your book.

To meet these requirements, it's essential to create the various files needed for your book's publication, including the interior layout for print and digital versions, cover design files, and any other supplementary materials. The cost of formatting services can vary based on the style of your book (e.g., novel, textbook, children's book) and the total number of pages.

By investing in professional formatting services, you ensure that your book meets industry standards and provides an excellent reading experience for your audience. This is particularly vital if you plan to self-publish or use POD services, as these platforms have stringent formatting requirements to ensure high-quality printed and digital book
