Levels of Editing

The Right Edit for Your Draft

Every manuscript is at a different stage. We assess yours first and recommend the level of editing it actually needs.

Developmental Editing

The big picture edit. Your editor reads the whole manuscript and looks at structure, pacing, character arcs, argument flow and whether the book delivers on its promise to readers.

  • Detailed editorial letter with priorities
  • Margin notes on plot, pacing and logic
  • Chapter order and structure recommendations

Line Editing

A sentence by sentence pass focused on style and flow. We trim repetition, sharpen word choice and adjust rhythm so your prose reads smoothly from the first page to the last.

  • Tighter, clearer sentences
  • Consistent tone and voice
  • Stronger dialogue and transitions

Copy Editing

The technical edit. We correct grammar, punctuation and usage, apply a consistent style guide and build a style sheet that records every decision about names, spellings and formatting.

  • Grammar, spelling and punctuation fixes
  • Consistency in names, dates and terms
  • Custom style sheet for your book

Proofreading

The final check before publication. A fresh set of eyes reviews the formatted pages for typos, missing words, layout slips and any errors introduced during design.

  • Typos and missed errors caught
  • Page layout and heading checks
  • Print and eBook ready files

Before You Publish

Give Readers a Book Worth Recommending

Reviews and word of mouth decide whether a book finds its audience. Errors, confusing passages and slow chapters are the quickest way to lose a reader's trust.

Professional editing removes those obstacles, so readers stay focused on your story or your message rather than the mistakes.

  • Notes you can actually act on

Cyrill Powell

Hexa Book Publishers created an attractive cover that offers a strong aesthetic appeal. It relates the entire story in a single picture without opening the book. In addition, the typography communicates emotions and sentiments clearly. I strongly recommend them to all book geeks!
