Comprehensive Editing Services We Provide
At Masterly Publishing, we recognize the importance of quality editing. Our editors provide thorough, in-depth edits that enhance every aspect of your manuscript, from the overall narrative to the smallest grammatical details. Our range of editorial services includes:
Developmental Editing
A developmental editor reviews your entire manuscript, addressing the "big picture" elements such as plot structure, pacing, character development, narrative flow, and consistency. Through detailed manuscript critique services, our editors provide actionable insights to elevate your writing. This type of editing often requires more than one editor to ensure an objective and comprehensive assessment.
Substantive and Structural Editing
Our substantive editing and structural edit services focus on refining content organization, coherence, and clarity. If your manuscript requires significant restructuring, our editors will guide you through a rewarding revision process, strengthening your narrative and enhancing reader engagement.
Line Editing and Copy Editing
Professional line editing ensures your sentences flow naturally, addressing sentence structure, wordiness, awkward phrasing, and improving overall readability. Our copy editing service meticulously examines grammar, spelling, punctuation mistakes, and consistency to eliminate all small errors that can distract readers and detract from your work’s professionalism.
Manuscript Review and Critiques
For authors seeking professional feedback, our manuscript review service provides thorough evaluations, identifying strengths and areas needing improvement. Our editors pay particular attention to elements such as narrative voice, word choice, pacing, and readability, providing you with clear, constructive advice to refine your work further.
Ghostwriting Services
Do you have a great story or concept but lack time or experience in writing? Our expert ghostwriters can turn your ideas into compelling narratives, helping you become a published author without having to write the manuscript yourself.
