Developmental Editing

Developmental editors find the gem within the ore of your early draft. They’ll provide guidance and feedback on core elements like structure, pacing, and characterization. They can also assess your book’s marketability.

With developmental editing, you can expect:

  • A detailed editorial letter with an analysis of your manuscript and specific revision suggestions
  • An annotated copy of your manuscript containing specific notes and edits

Copy Editing

Ready to supercharge your sentences? If you’re satisfied with the structure and content of your manuscript, a copy editor will dive into the sentence-level details. Their edits will clarify your ideas and strengthen your voice to ensure that your book captivates readers.

With copy editing, you can expect:

  • A thoroughly annotated version of your manuscript with tracked changes to easily identify edits
  • A style sheet listing standard spellings and formatting, which can later be referenced by your proofreader

Book Cover Design

Cover designers combine genre trends, reader expectations, imagery, and typography to create a harmonious design. Whether you need a digital cover for your ebook, a full wrap-around for a print book, or all the above, our designers are ready to create a cover that stands out for the right reasons.

With book cover design, you can expect:

  • Several concepts that will appeal to your audience
  • A finalized version of your chosen concept, in whatever format(s) you need

Translation

Literary translators carry your voice and story into a new language, paving the way for expanded readership and sales. When you work with a translator, you can expect:

  • An in-depth discussion to understand your goals in your target language and market
  • Translation that stays true to your intentions while taking idioms and linguistic differences into account
  • A complete, proofread manuscript that's ready for distribution
  • Translations of your book blurb and other marketing materials (upon request)
