Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
Do I need a book editing service and why is it important?
Writing a book can be challenging and ensuring that it meets stringent publication standards can be stressful. Authors often develop a “blind eye” to minor grammatical or formatting errors and this affects the quality of the manuscript. Professional book editing services helps ease the publication journey by taking away the tedious task of editing, formatting, and designing the manuscript yourself. - 02
How are Editage’s Book Editing and End-to-End Book Publication Pack Service different from other editing services?
Editage’s professional book editing and formatting services offer unrivalled features including
• The industry’s finest editors – Our highly-qualified and rigorously-trained editorial team comprises over 3,000 native English editors who help eliminate grammatical errors, improve the manuscript for style and tone, and ensure that it is properly structured for better readability.
• More than just book editing – We go beyond simple editing and offer copyediting, proofreading, book cover designing, page composition, typesetting and formatting to ensure that manuscripts are error-free well-presented and publication-ready.
• Multiple rounds of rechecking – In order to ensure the highest quality standards, we offer unlimited re-editing until you’re satisfied with the delivered output.
• 20+ Years of publishing experience – We have edited and formatted over 2 million manuscripts from 192 countries and have been endorsed by major publishing companies like Wiley, The BMJ, SAGE, among others.

• Assured confidentiality - Our editors honour a strict non-negotiable NDA and our systems are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified so any book manuscripts you submit for editing are 100% safe and secure. - 03
Who are the Editage experts who will find publishers and create my book proposals?
We ensure that book publication experts have prior experience in the publication industry and/or have published books themselves. This gives them a vast knowledge of the different publisher options available and a keen sense of the quality required for a good book proposal. - 04
How much does the book editing service or the entire packcost?
The cost of your book editing project is determined primarily by your choice of service and delivery plan as well as your document’s word count. The total cost may also change if you’ve selected additional services or applied existing discounts. Please fill in the form so that we may contact you with further details and provide a customized quote. - 05
How long will it take to get my book ready for submission?
The time taken to edit and format a book depends largely on the book manuscript’s word count and the specific services selected at the time of placing the order. It might also depend on time taken by the publisher to respond to the book proposal. - 06
How will the end-to-end pack be executed by Editage for my book publication?
Once you submit the inquiry, our customer service team will ask for some basic information like your author bio, target readership, and expected timelines. Please provide this information along with the manuscript draft and also let the team know if you do not require a specific service from the pack or need additional support. A custom quotation will then be shared with you, and the team will proceed with the 1st step of the pack, i.e., the publisher selection. After you have shortlisted 2-3 publishers, the book publishing expert will create book proposals for all shortlisted publishers. This will be followed by showcase chapter editing and entire book editing. - 07
How does a book typesetting service help?
Professional book typesetting and formatting services ensure that the layout, structure and design of the submitted book is of the highest quality. It includes a detailed check on design elements like font sizes and selection, paragraph indents, flow of chapters, layout of data and images, proper placement of headers and footers, and appropriate book margins. - 08
How long does it take to typeset a book?
The time taken to typeset and format a book depends largely on the length of the manuscript and its word count as well as any additional services that may have been selected at the time of placing the order. - 09
How do Editage experts select publishers for my book?
Your project manager will send you a Publication Proposal Form where you can share the details of your publication goals and book details. Based on the information shared here, the Editage publication experts will share 3-5 book publisher options with you. Please shortlist 2-3 publishers from this list that match your requirements. - 10
What is a book proposal?
Publishers require a book proposal to assess the commercial potential of a book and its alignment with their publishing goals. It outlines the proposed content, target audience, and market potential. A well-crafted book proposal can increase the chances of a book manuscript being accepted for publication. Some publishers like Springer Nature also provide a book proposal form. In such cases, the Editage expert will download the form and fill it out as well. - 11
What happens if my book proposal is rejected by the 1st publisher?
Proposal rejections, while disheartening, are unfortunately quite common in the book publishing industry. To ensure that your publication stays on track, our expert will create book proposals for all the shortlisted publishers. Hence, even if 1 shortlisted publisher rejects your proposal, you can send it to another one with Editage's support. We will support you till your book is published. - 12
Can I get a book proposal created without a publisher selected?
The book proposal should be drafted differently for every specific publisher. Hence, we recommend that you use the publisher selection service first and only get the book proposal created after you have shortlisted the publishers.
