Editing Services
Want to get honest feedback on your book and rewrite it? Want a thorough editing of the text to ensure good readability and professional finish? Or just need a final round of proof-reading and copy-editing before typesetting and printing the book? You can avail our editing services.
Actual work involved in editing may vary depending on the state of the manuscript submitted and also on how much editorial intervention you want in your manuscript as a self publisher. We provide three types of editing services.
- Critiquing: Critiquing involves highlighting strength/weakness of the manuscript and checking for coherence, consistency and focus. The editor may give several comments on language and grammar, presentation and chapter bifurcation, in addition to comments on citations or footnotes. Critiquing is useful when you want to rewrite the manuscript based on the critical feedback. So, if you are going for this service, it is important to ensure that you have enough time in hand so that you can work on rewriting parts of the book, if required. Typically after critiquing, you would revise the manuscript and then get a round of language editing done.
- Substantive Language Editing: This is the most popular level of editing with our authors. The scope of "Substantive Language Editing" includes sentence rewriting, word replacement etc. for improving the readability or impact, apart from taking care of grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, punctuations etc.
- Proofreading: Proofreading is suitable for those manuscripts that have already gone through at least one round of editing. This round takes care of grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes that might have been overlooked in the first round of editing.
The charges for editing vary depending on the genre and quality of manuscript submitted. Once the manuscript is ready from your side, you can contact us to get an exact quote.
