Editing Services
Beta Reading
Beta readers keep a close eye on the intangeables that can take your story from good to great. They’ll watch for pacing, characterization, believability and so much more and give you a thorough report on what worked and what didn’t.
Proofreading
Proofreading is widely regarded as the final step before publication! Congratulations!
It’s time for one final, thorough pass over to make sure that everything is as close to perfect as possible.
Our proofreader will comb through your manuscript and hunt down every last stubborn misplaced comma, and spelling error possible.
Sensitivity Reading
Sensitivity reading is another kind of beta reading that focuses exclusively on ensuring your manuscript is bereft of harmful stereotypes and problematic bias.
Not only will a sensitivity reader point out how these issues can translate to a wider audience, but they will also educate you as to how and why such language/theming is problematic in the first place.
Beta & Sensitivity
Combine our beta and sensitivity reading services into one, affordable package!
Editing
We offer a wide array of editing services, including developmental, copy, and line editing.
We will be with you through every stage of your publication journey.
BLURB & TAGLINE
"So, what's your book about?" The question writers love and hate the most. Love, because it gives them a chance to talk about their work. Hate, because how do you sum up over 100K words in a sentence or two?
If you don't mind answering a few questions from Chessa, our resident summary wizard, she will craft a synopsis best describing the story and the characters without giving too much away.
