A copy editor will make sure that your book flows logically, is consistent, and feels complete. Your copy editor will first take a bird's-eye view of the manuscript to address its overall quality and "flow." He or she might suggest conceptual changes like moving a section of the manuscript so it will flow logically from one point to the next and improve overall clarity of your book.

While the copy editor will check syntax and punctuation, typically, a proofreader will give the final "finishing touch" to a manuscript after the copy editor has completed his or her work. If you are concerned about factual consistency (including references, indexes, data in your text, general style choices, word consistency, formatting, and punctuation), check out our consistency checking service. If you think you still need to rearrange or rewrite whole parts of your manuscript, check out our developmental editing service or even join a brainstorming session to map out the general direction of your book. Once finished, we also offer services to publish your manuscript on various platforms or to help you present your ideas in front of an audience.

Additional notes:

We will deliver the copy-edited manuscript as well as a style guide specific to your project.
If applicable, we can also provide suggestions for additional improvements for future editions of the book.
While copy editing, we track changes to your manuscript, which you can accept or reject (please note that this might require conversion into a different document format).
