FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? We’ve Got Answers. Publishing can feel confusing. Let’s clear things up.

Great question! Editing happens earlier and focuses on improving the content, structure, flow, and style of your manuscript. Proofreading is the final stage, focusing exclusively on surface-level errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting.

Absolutely not. Our only goal is to correct errors and ensure consistency. We are guardians of your final text, not editors of your voice. Your story remains 100% yours.

We typically work with standard formats like Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or Google Docs, which allow for easy tracking of changes. Just ask if you have something different!

Editing and proofreading are usually quoted by word count, manuscript condition, and turnaround needs. We review your file first so the quote reflects the actual level of work required.
