Book Editing Services
Confidential, Professional, Affordable and a Must Before Publishing!
Many authors feel they can self-edit their book effectively. However, as an author myself, I know that self-editing a book is almost impossible. Writers are simply too close to their work to spot even the most elementary mistakes and inconsistencies because your writer's brain is writing what you are thinking. After weeks and months of writing, rewriting, and revising, the writer's brain easily misses typos, punctuation and grammatical issues. This is precisely why every writer needs at least three sets of eyes to look over their work for even the most common mistakes.
Our editing process uses the Chicago Manual of Style (the publishing industry’s go-to guide) for grammar, punctuation, and usage and Merriam-Webster (the standard American-language dictionary) for spellings. No book is perfect, but hiring a professional book proofreading and editing service to ensure there are no loose ends and all your bases can help you get a lot closer. The goal here at WDP is to help ensure your copy presents as professional as possible. If you are looking for an affordable, experienced editor and proofreader WDP has you covered. Trusting WDP with your manuscript might seem like a big commitment, but so is publishing a book. Do you and your book a favor, make the investment, and get your book polished before it’s published.

Editing Services
Line Editing — Line editing is a more in-depth version of copy editing. I work line-by-line, checking for run-on sentences and unnecessary/overused words, information redundancies, character inconsistencies, inconsistent phrasing and more. Copyediting — Copyediting, is a semi-light form of editing that applies a professional polish to a book. With copyediting, I review your work and fix errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, ambiguity, and repetition. I also check Bible verses to ensure they are correct, and point out any potential legal liabilities we come across to help ensure your manuscript does not libel others. Proofreading — Proofreading is the final stage of editing. In proofreading, I look for the smaller things that have slipped through previous stages of editing, such as missing words, typos, punctuation errors, and spelling. I pay no attention to sentence structure, readability, or flow. Proofreading is for documents that have already been edited. If, while I am reviewing your work, and encounter multiple errors on every page, that's a good indication that copyediting is more appropriate. I will stop and reach out to you to discuss how to move forward. |
