Good books have professional covers and formatting, but great books have been professionally edited. After all, it’s the content that counts. Our team of book editors will guide you through the revision process, suggest changes, and ultimately make you a better writer. No matter where you are in your writing career, no amount of self-editing can replace working with good editors.
Since late 2020, we have proudly offered high-quality editing that meets professional standards at affordable prices. We believe publishing should be as stress-free as possible, and our one-stop-shop approach streamlines the process. Our team of professional editors can accommodate every genre of fiction and nonfiction. Whatever type of book you have, we can help!

Line editing involves a detailed review of your manuscript to ensure every sentence conveys your ideas clearly and compellingly. Line editors focus on refining word choice, sentence structure, dialogue, and overall tone to maintain a consistent pace and voice. While they may catch some errors typical of copyediting, their primary role is to enhance clarity and style. This process is best performed on a complete draft before a copyedit, allowing you to address larger narrative and stylistic changes first.
Copyediting focuses on the technical aspects of your writing. Copyeditors catch spelling mistakes, errors in grammar, and inconsistencies. They know when compound words are hyphenated (or not), whether the book is ‘laying’ or ‘lying’ on the table, and whether eagles have ‘talons’ or ‘claws.’ They’ll go through your manuscript line by line for accuracy and consistency of style. A good copyeditor will make sure that your voice remains intact while restructuring sentences, and substituting weak word choices for stronger ones.
The goal of proofreading is to correct any outstanding errors in spelling, punctuation, or mechanics after editing is completed. Traditionally, a proofread is conducted after the interior is completed. At Ebook Launch, we do things a little differently. Given that multiple files are being produced, we’ve found it’s easier to look over the content prior to formatting. The aim is to reduce the need for revisions to the formatted files (or even reformatting).
If your book has yet to be professionally edited, it is recommended to first start with a copyedit.
Our editors consult The Chicago Manual of Style and other style guides. The Chicago Manual of Style is the industry standard for most fiction and nonfiction, but our editors may determine that your nonfiction is better served with another style guide like The Associated Press Stylebook or MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing.
They’ll also set a default dictionary, such as Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, to maintain spelling consistency throughout your book. In addition, they’ll consult many reference guides along the way, such as Garner’s Modern American Usage, The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation, or The Copyeditor’s Handbook.
These reference choices will all be recorded on a style sheet – an essential editing tool. A style sheet contains notes on spelling and punctuation, as well as rules for using numbers and numerals, and even a list of characters and story details that help maintain consistency throughout the book. When the book is passed off to a proofreader, the style sheet communicates the book’s individual style to the proofreader.
