Copy Editing for manuscripts
Two editing passes over your manuscript for grammar, punctuation, spelling and consistency, returned with tracked changes, a style sheet and a query list you can answer as you go.

Two passes, not one
A second read catches what the first one shook loose, so fixes don't introduce new mistakes.
A style sheet you keep
Your spellings, names and number rules recorded in one place, so book two matches book one.
Edited in your own file
Tracked changes in your own document or PDF markup, so you accept or reject every edit yourself.
Copy Editing: questions
Which style guide do you edit to?
Chicago Manual of Style, AP or APA, or a custom style guide you supply. Whichever you pick, we build a style sheet as we go, recording your spellings, names and number rules, and return it with the edited file.
How do I get the edits back?
As tracked changes in your document or as PDF markup, whichever you work in. Anything we cannot fix without your input goes on a query list instead of being changed for you, so decisions about your writing stay yours.
How long does copy editing take, and what do I send?
Send the finished manuscript along with your word count and preferred style guide. Editing runs 7 to 10 business days and comes back after two passes, with the style sheet and the query list attached.
