Editing Services

Our editorial services focus on a specific piece of writing, and not on the author's habits, platform, or publication strategies. You can simply ask us to do a brief, straightforward job for you or retain a Wordsmith Associate as your editor over a longer term (completion of your book manuscript or thesis or dissertation, for example).

We provide every level of editorial service:

Manuscript Critique

One of our pros will give you a professional assessment of your early-stage manuscript and offer suggestions, feedback, and clarity on how to move forward in your writing. This is often the first step before we do a full developmental critique.

$399

Full Developmental Critique

One of our pros will read your entire manuscript and give you a comprehensive assessment of its strengths and weaknesses, things to develop, and, together with you, develop a revision strategy.

$0.01 per word

Developmental Editing

An overall critique and section-­by-­section feedback concerning voice, mood, style, structure, story ­logic, characterization, rhetorical impact, etc. Focuses on the coherence and strength of the whole. You’ll see more comments than corrections.

$75 per hour

Copyediting

Focuses on paragraphs, sentences, and word choice, to refine style, grammar, syntax, and genre conventions. You’ll see lots of corrections but plenty of comments too, especially in the form of clarification questions and requests for specific revisions.

$0.04 - $0.06 per word

Proofreading

Focuses on punctuation, spacing, formatting, and combing out every last error. No margin comments unless absolutely necessary to clarify something.

$0.04 per word

Formatting

Traditional publishers, KDP, Smashwords, letterpresses, and custom offset book printers all require different document formats in order to accept your work for publication or printing. We can do this for you too.
