Editing also addresses deeper issues such as content organization, tone, and consistency.

How long does the book editing process take?

The length of the editing process depends on the size of your manuscript and the type of editing required. A standard novel (around 80,000–100,000 words) can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to edit.

What file format should I send my manuscript in?

We accept various file formats, including Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx), Google Docs, and PDFs. However, for editing purposes, we recommend sending your manuscript in Word format, as it allows us to use ‘Track Changes’ to show revisions.

Can you help with formatting my book for publishing?
