Professional Editing
JJL evaluates editorial needs and can coordinate qualified editorial professionals as part of the publishing process. Editorial scope is quoted separately after manuscript review.
How we help
The right level of editing for your manuscript.
Not every manuscript needs every kind of edit. JJL reviews your manuscript, recommends what it needs, and coordinates qualified independent editorial professionals, with JJL remaining your project manager.
Developmental editing
Big-picture work on structure, pacing, character, argument and flow.
Line editing
Sentence-level work on voice, clarity and style.
Copyediting
Grammar, consistency, usage and mechanics.
Proofreading
A final check for errors before the book goes to print or publication.
Beta reading and specialist review
Reader feedback, and specialist or sensitivity review where appropriate.
Editing is not automatically included in any Author Services package. It is evaluated and quoted separately after manuscript review, and the scope depends on the manuscript. Editorial work may be performed by vetted outside professionals.
