Get Copy Editing for Your Book

Our copy editing service helps authors have consistency and clarity in their books. Copy editing is perfect if you are in the early stages of editing your book to ensure the book flows smoothly. 

During this stage we may rewrite paragraphs, fact-check, adjust chapters, or add in paragraphs that are missing a connecting thought.

Think of copy editing as looking over the big-picture concepts in your book. It is not a replacement for proof reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Copy editing questions that people ask…

Are sample edits available?

Yes, sample edits are available if you would like to request one. Simply click here to contact us and let us know where we can download your file.

Do you also offer book formatting?

Yes, if you are interested in formatting the interior of your book, you can learn more about the service by clicking here.

How do I review the editor’s comments and recommendations?

We track changes in Microsoft Word as we do the editing. This will allow you to see any comments, changes, or adjustments that were made.

By doing the editing in this way, you can decide to keep the change or ignore it. 

Will my book need copy editing and proofreading?

Copy editing is the big picture editing that happens to ensure there is clarity to your book and that the content flows well from paragraph to paragraph and chapter to chapter.

Although we make our best effort to clean up the text as we do the editing, you should still get the final version of your book proof read whether it is by our team, someone else, or yourself.

Will editing catch all of the mistakes in my book?

Copy editing focuses on clarity, fact-checking, rewriting paragraphs, adding in paragraphs that are missing to tie in two thoughts, or simplifying sections of your book.

While we aim to do this without too many mistakes, the focus here is to look at the big picture concepts and not the fine details.

The fine details are caught during the proof reading process.
