Hire a Professional Manuscript Copy Editor

What sets our manuscript editors apart: Our minds remain on the big picture while our eyes focus on the details.

Copy editors to polish your manuscript

There is nothing that says "amateur" like misspellings, poor grammar or disconnects in a text. A publisher, literary agent or book reviewer will ignore your manuscript if the writing is under par, even if your content is phenomenal. Fortunately, it is so easy to head off instant failure before it happens by hiring a professional manuscript copy editor or proofreader for your book.

"Make sure your words get your manuscript read."

What our manuscript proofreaders and copy editors do for you

We can provide all the basics. We can proofread:

• correct spelling in Canadian, UK or American English
  
• correct grammar
  
• correct punctuation
  
• correct word usage (Do you know when to use "that" and when to use "which"?)

Of course "correct" might include slang or colloquialisms, depending on the nature of your audience and the subject of your book. It is important to respect the tone you are trying to set.

We go beyond simple proofreading. We also ensure consistency. For example, if some chapters of your book are written in very formal language, you probably don't want other chapters written more colloquially.

Similarly, if you use USA spellings, such as "center" and "honor" in your manuscript, you don't want to suddenly insert Canadian spellings, such as "centre" or "honour". And if you refer to a car in some places, an automobile in others and an auto in still others, you might prefer to have some consistency. And let's face it, if you want to sell your book south of the border, nobody will understand what "Newfie" or "poutine" mean.

Our Canadian manuscript editors can do all this, PLUS we can add vigor to your text. Some adjectives and adverbs add a little bit extra life, but a few well-placed action verbs or powerful analogies can breathe much more life into your manuscript.

Our manuscript proofreading rates are $20/1000 words and our manuscript copy-editing rates are $40/1000 words, with a minimum $100 charge.
