Our First-language Professional Editors Have Proven Track Record And Skills

To make your books, content, and documents shine through the pages, copyediting is crucial because it purifies your drafts of confusing texts, misspelled words, wrong usage of words, and other errors in the text. If you’re getting your book copyedited, our editors recommend getting your book through a round of line or developmental editing to make sure the major errors aren’t there and that it’s ready to be copyedited.

For other types of drafts including content, eBooks, medical papers, and personal documents, copyediting is the main step that our editors carefully take your papers through and ensure a clearly edited draft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Global Questions

What is the difference between copyediting and proofreading?

Simply put, copyediting comes as the next step after the content of your book draft has been edited for significant issues. Copyediting deals with minor issues like inconsistencies in the text, spelling and punctuation errors, and works on the style guides. For example, a copyeditor can detect any odd changes in the color of your character’s hair throughout the story or fact-check important information to ensure accuracy.

 

Proofreading is the last step of the editing process, which is the final check. It deals with mistakes left during editing a manuscript and works on the typos, typesetting, and formatting to perfect the quality.

What are your copyediting rates?

The cost of copyediting depends on the length of a book, word count, deadline, and the number of revisions you want. The editing costs are also determined by the experience, skills, and services offered by a professional editor and how long the editor has been in the industry. Our professional copy editors charge on a per-word, per hour, or per-project basis.

 

Our basic copyediting charges are:

 

  • By the word: $.6 per word and up
  • By the hour: $90 per hour and up
  • By project: Prices for fixed budget tasks vary. You can contact our team and send us your project details for a price quote.

How do you select copyeditors for your book?

Each professional editor has a specific set of skills and experiences that make them better suited to serve particular clients and projects, and no editor is better than the other. Keeping this in mind, here are a few things to consider when finding an editor for your manuscript:

 

  1. Select editors based on the genres they cover: It’s important to team up with an editor who serves the particular genre you write in. Having an editor experienced in science-fiction working with your romance manuscript probably won’t be a wise idea.
  2. Have a look at their professional experience: Some authors prefer to work with editors who have edited manuscripts for famous authors, while others work best with editors who have had a successful experience with first-time authors.
  3. Decide the kind of critique you’re willing to receive: When working with an editor, you may receive blunt and straightforward advice, and you can also have a frank response from an editor. It depends on what best suits you.
  4. Ensure communication: You can choose the style of communication according to your preference. You can go for either face-to-face meetings for in-depth discussion and feedback or choose to receive weekly updates for only key points of your manuscript editing.
What if I don't like the final draft?

Not a problem. You’re most welcome to contact us and send back your final draft if you’re not satisfied. We offer unlimited revisions for our valued clients to ensure they’re heard and dealt with carefully. Make sure you communicate your concerns in a timely fashion and tell us what changes you want. Once we know we have edited and formatted the book according to your needs, we’ll send you the revised draft. We stay with you throughout the editing process to ensure your full satisfaction.

Is your copyediting service confidential?

An unprofessional copy editor may share the details of your project to attract new clients and breach your rights in the process. We take pride in saying that all the information and manuscripts you provide us remain strictly confidential.

 

We follow professional editing and publishing standards to ensure that the excerpts from your book aren’t used elsewhere without your knowledge.
