How do I know what edit I need?

When you think about your manuscript in its entirety, ask yourself: Do you have concerns about the core narrative or plot? If so, a developmental edit might be your best route. Are you more anxious about the rhythm, continuity, and flow? Then a line edit is what you’re after. For those meticulous details like grammar, spelling, and punctuation, a proofread is the way to go. And if you’re aiming to ensure your content is inclusive and respectful, a sensitivity read is the ideal choice.

Still on the fence? We completely understand that every manuscript is unique and so are the needs attached to it. If you’re uncertain, why not send us the first 20 pages?
