Your manuscript, from first draft to publication-ready, with one team.
Most books need more than one kind of edit. Booking them separately means finding new editors, explaining your book again, and managing the gaps between rounds.
The Complete Manuscript Edit takes your book through developmental, line and copy editing in the right order, with one editorial team carrying it from start to finish.

FAQs
FAQs
Why book all three edits as one package?
Your manuscript stays with one team from the first round to the last, so nothing is lost between stages and nobody needs to learn your book from scratch. The package is also priced as a complete series rather than three separate bookings.
When should I book it?
When you have a complete draft that needs substantial work. If you are unsure how much work, start with a Manuscript Assessment.
Do I revise between rounds?
Yes. You revise after the developmental edit and review after the line edit. Your schedule includes time for both.
