Book Editing Services

Fast, Affordable and a Must Before Publishing!

As an author I know that writers are often too close to their work to proofread effectively and spot even the most elementary mistakes and inconsistencies. Hiring an experienced book editor is the best investment you can make for your book. Grammar errors come across as sloppy and unprofessional. If you are submitting your manuscript to a publisher or agent, or you are self-publishing a book you need a professional book editor who has eagle eyes to spot and correct errors in your book.

I want you and your work to shine. If your book contains garbled grammar and unrefined language readers will be turned-off and unimpressed. Your reputation as a writer will suffer. The goal here at WDP is to help ensure your copy presents as professional as possible. You retain complete creative control over your manuscript. I edit Microsoft Word documents using Track Changes, so all our changes are clearly visible. This allows you to accept, reject, or modify them. If you are looking for an affordable, experienced editor I've got you covered.

My fees are significantly lower than industry standards, but don’t let the low rates fool you. If you decide to entrust your editing needs to Williams DocuPrep, I will go the extra mile to meet, and hopefully exceed your expectations. I charge per word, so it's easy to determine just how much my service will cost you.

Content editing involves checking the content for factual errors, contradictions, and inconsistencies, and repetition as well as Bible verses to ensure they are correct, and I check for potential legal liability to help ensure your manuscript does not libel others. Content editing is an all-encompassing edit that includes everything needed to get your book to read the way it should.

Copy Editing is essential to ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality.
I check copy for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, verb tenses and other grammatical errors. I also check for continuity, sentence structure, paragraph lengths, word choices, missed words, and the like. In other words, copy editing involves correcting the language of the text.
