What is editing?

So, you’ve written your book, or are in the process of writing your book, and are starting to think about editing. But where to begin? We’re here to help demystify the editorial process and shed some light on the different layers of editing. Generally, we like to break this down into what we call developmental editing and final-stage editing.

If you aren’t sure what kind of editorial assistance you’re looking for at this stage, don’t worry! We’ll review your opening pages and synopsis or proposal free of charge and determine the best route forward for you and your book. Please note that line edits are grouped in with final stage edits on our website as these projects are always charged out hourly, following an estimate from your editor.
