Basic Copy Editing

With BookSurge's Basic Copy Editing service, a professional editor will review your manuscript for technical elements such as grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency. With this service, the editor will not offer any feedback or suggestions on the content, character development, or structure of your work.

This service is recommended for manuscripts that have gone through previous rounds of line edits.

How it Works:

• You provide us with your complete manuscript in a Microsoft Word format.
• Our professional editor will review your work, correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, and maintaining consistency by utilizing the Microsoft Word "track changes" tools.
• You retain line-item control over your work and accept or reject each individual editorial change made by the editor.
• You can choose whether or not to incorporate the editor's suggestions into your manuscript and submit the manuscript for formatting.

Please note, we strongly encourage authors to purchase multiple rounds of editing to best benefit their manuscripts. Speak with your publishing consultant to take advantages of discounts on multiple rounds.
