Book editing services

Overview

I offer book editing services comprising proofreading and copy editing for fiction and non-fiction books. If you are an author and require help with the final stages of your book I provide:

Copy-editing services

This will correct any errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in your manuscript, as well as checking for any inconsistences, in order to create a seamless read.

I will also create a bespoke style sheet for your book, helping to provide it with a clear structure and adhering to industry guidelines.

Prices for this service start from £12 per 1,000 words.

Proofreading services

Once I have finished copy-edting and all revisions incorporated into your manuscript, the final proofreading stage acts as a last visual check, for peace of mind. I eliminate any outstanding errors and assess the overall layout of the manuscript to ensure that your book is ready for publication.

Prices for this service start from £12 per 1,000 words.
