Frequently Asked
Book editing questions, answered.
Can't find what you're looking for? Our consultants are happy to talk it through — no obligation, no hard sell.
Ask a QuestionWhat do book editors actually do?
Editors improve your manuscript at different levels: developmental editors work on structure and story, line editors refine sentences and style, copy editors fix grammar and consistency, and proofreaders catch final errors before printing.
How much does a book editor cost?
Cost depends on word count, genre and the level of editing. Proofreading costs less than a full developmental edit. We provide a clear fixed quote after reviewing a sample of your manuscript.
What is the difference between editing and proofreading?
Editing improves the content, structure and style of your writing. Proofreading is the final quality check for typos, punctuation and formatting errors after editing is complete.
Do I need editing or proofreading?
If your manuscript hasn't been professionally edited, you'll usually benefit from a line or copy edit first. If it has, a proofread may be all you need. A free sample review will tell us for sure.
How long does book editing take?
A typical 70,000-word novel takes three to six weeks depending on the level of edit. Proofreading is faster, usually one to two weeks.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. Our editors cover literary and genre fiction, memoir, business, self-help, faith, children's books, poetry and more.
How do I edit a manuscript for publication?
Work in stages: fix big-picture structure first, then refine sentences, then correct grammar and consistency, and finally proofread the formatted pages. Our editors can guide or handle each stage for you.
