Understanding Editorial Levels
Choosing the right service ensures your time and budget are spent effectively. Here is how our core services differ:
| Service | Best Suited For | What Is Included | What Is Excluded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manuscript Editing | Completed drafts needing sentence-level polish and consistency. | Grammar, syntax, flow, style consistency, phrasing improvements, tracked changes. | Full structural rewrites or ghostwriting. (Deeper developmental scope requires separate assessment). |
| Proofreading | Manuscripts that are already structurally sound and copyedited. | Typographical errors, misspelling, punctuation slip-ups, double spaces, repeated words. | Rewriting, reorganizing chapters, or changing author voice. |
| Kindle & Paperback Formatting | Finalized text ready for publication layout and interior styling. | Trim size setup, margins, headers/footers, clickable TOC, drop caps, print PDF & Kindle EPUB. | Copyediting or text changes during layout (text must be final before typesetting). |
| Workbooks & Coaching Materials | Coaches and educators creating structured exercises and journals. | Exercise formatting, reflection prompts, checklists, visual hierarchy, printable PDFs. | Complex custom branding, illustration suites, or instructional curriculum design. |
