Our Services

  Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of your manuscript. We look at structure, flow, clarity of ideas and narrative coherence. Whether you’re working on a novel, a memoir or an academic work, we help you shape the content to ensure it’s well-organised, compelling and aligned with your goals. Expect detailed feedback on plot or argument, structure, pacing, tone and thematic consistency.

Ideal for: authors and researchers with a complete or near-complete draft seeking in-depth guidance on improving content, structure and impact. 

    Copyediting sharpens your writing by attending to grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, word choice and style. We ensure consistency, clarity and flow while preserving your unique voice. We follow your preferred style guide or your publisher’s house style or advise on one if needed (e.g., Chicago, APA, Oxford). With our edit we provide our editor’s style guide outlining all the editing conventions we have applied. 

Ideal for: writers ready for polish before proofreading or publication, including fiction, non-fiction, academic papers and policy documents. 

    Proofreading is the final quality check before publishing. We catch spelling errors, typos, layout inconsistencies and formatting issues – anything that might distract or confuse your reader. We ensure your work is error-free and professionally presented. This usually comes in the form of a PDF document, and we can provide edits and comments using either BSI marks or Adobe Acrobat’s comment tools.

Ideal for: finalised documents, including print-ready manuscripts, theses, proposals, and websites. 

   A manuscript review provides broad, constructive feedback on your draft without the full line-by-line editing. We assess structure, voice, clarity and audience suitability, offering a clear roadmap for improvement, providing detailed guidance and suggestions in the form of a report.
 

We also offer peer review and reader’s report services to publishers.

Ideal for: early-stage authors seeking guidance before committing to editing services and for publishers needing a manuscript assessed before committing to publication.
