An editor gives your book a fresh, careful read. Our editing and proofreading services cover everything from story structure to the last stray comma.
Editing looks at the content: story flow, structure, clarity, and style. Proofreading is the final check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typos before publishing. Most books need both.
That depends on your draft. Developmental editing works on plot, pacing, and structure. Line editing improves sentences and voice. Copyediting fixes grammar and consistency. We read a sample and recommend the right level.
Pricing depends on word count and the level of editing. If you are comparing affordable proofreading services or full editing packages, we give you a clear per-word or per-project quote before any work begins.
Yes. Our book formatting services prepare your manuscript from an ugly-looking draft to upload-ready files, so you don’t have to manage separate vendors.
A manuscript is ready when readers can follow it without tripping over errors, gaps, or unclear sentences. Our editors read your work closely, leave notes that explain each change, and respect your voice. Our book editing services look at character arcs, pacing, dialogue, and continuity, while nonfiction edits focus on clarity, flow, and accuracy. Either way, you receive tracked changes and a summary letter you can act on.
We work on novels, memoirs, nonfiction, business books, poetry, and children’s titles. Our editing services for writers cover first-time authors and seasoned writers alike. Picture books need a different touch. Our editing for children’s books focuses on age-appropriate language, rhythm, and read-aloud flow, and our children’s book formatting handles image placement, page spreads, and print bleed.
Proofreading catches the small errors that slip through earlier rounds: typos, missing words, punctuation slips, and inconsistent spelling. Our book proofreading services for authors give your manuscript one last careful pass before it goes out. Our online proofreading lets you send files, follow progress, and review changes from anywhere.
Our book formatting services set your fonts, margins, headers, chapter openings, and page breaks so the interior looks neat in print. Our ebook formatting services create reflowable files that read well on phones, tablets, and e-readers.
There are many companies providing book editing services, but a few things make us very different from other agencies providing similar services:
We pair your manuscript with an editor who knows your genre, its conventions, and what its readers expect, from fantasy and memoir to picture books.
Every edit comes with tracked changes and comments, so you can accept, reject, or question each suggestion yourself before anything becomes final.
We set deadlines based on your word count and editing level, keep you updated along the way, and let you know early if anything needs to shift.
Readers notice care. A clean, well-formatted, and well-edited book lets them focus on your story instead of your typos. Authors Prestige helps you reach that point with honest notes and steady support. Send us a few sample pages and let’s talk about what your book needs.
