Our proofreading and editing fees are primarily based on word count – this way, you know what the cost will be to have your manuscript fully edited and proofread before making any commitments.

Our Editing and Proofreading Services Include:

Request a manuscript appraisal - this service will determine whether your book needs further editing and how much editing is required. The appraisal will also make recommendations so that if you wish to improve your book by completing the proofreading and editing process yourself - you can – the decision is then yours as to whether or not you wish to select further assistance.

Non-Fiction Books

Does your non-fiction book require editing and proofreading before being considered for publication. We will employ book editing and proofreading techniques specially designed for the writer who has written a book that is a non-fiction work.

Good writers and authors often have a difficult time finding publishers who are willing to consider a book written by a yet unpublished writer. We have edited and proofread many books that were written by authors expressing their personal experiences.

Love of Books also offers personal editing services for Christian novels. We have fully trained staff who are experienced in the Word of God and eager to proofread, edit or suggest a rewrite of your Christian novel.

Our Christian editing service includes a review of your manuscript which checks for tone, complexity, sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, syntax, flow and formatting.

Manuscript Editing – Hints

Most writers do a poor job editing themselves, even if they are excellent editors when working on other  people’s work.

All manuscript editing should be done on double spaced paper, with a red pen, even if the editor will be entering those changes into the manuscript using a ‘track changes option’.

A copy-edit is basically editing your work for grammar, style, punctuation and clarity. While a copy editor or a proofreader can do their work one sentence at a time, a hard editor should read the whole book through once before trying to edit it.

It is important to note that manuscript editing isn’t a substitute for proofreading on a finished copy. Proofreading is the final stage where any ‘typos’ are noted and corrected before publishing.
