Step 1 Initial consultation & sample edit
We begin by discussing your book's genre, target audience, and current creative concerns. You submit a short excerpt of your manuscript (usually the first 1,000 words).
We provide a complimentary sample edit and a custom proposal outlining the scope of work, estimated timeline, and a transparent pricing quote tailored to your project.
Step 2 Deep-dive manuscript review
Once we agree on the scope, you submit your complete draft. Our developmental editors perform a comprehensive read-through, mapping out structural elements, story arcs, and pacing flow.
We analyze the internal logic of your world, character consistency, and thematic depth, identifying any structural roadblocks that might hinder your book's success.
Step 3 Editorial delivery & feedback letter
You receive your manuscript with detailed inline comments, suggestions, and track-changes, along with a comprehensive, multi-page editorial letter explaining our feedback.
This letter acts as a roadmap for your next draft, giving you clear, actionable advice on how to restructure scenes, deepen character development, and refine your overall narrative style.
Step 4 Revision support & consultation
We do not just hand over the feedback and leave you to figure it out alone. Every package includes a follow-up consultation call to discuss the editorial recommendations.
We help you brainstorm solutions to tricky plot holes, discuss alternative character paths, and ensure you feel confident and inspired as you tackle your next draft.
A respectful, author-first philosophy
We understand that your manuscript is your passion project. Our job is not to rewrite your book or impose our personal stylistic preferences onto your work.
Instead, we act as professional readers and structural experts, helping you realize your own creative vision and ensuring your book resonates clearly with your target readers.
