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 do book editing services work?
Requesting a professional book editing and book formatting service at Editage is simple. The first step is to select services that suit your needs and submit your manuscript. You can choose from our Basic and Consultative Book Editing Services, our Cover Design & Typesetting Service, or our Book Editing & Design combo plan. After assessing your requirements, you will be assigned a dedicated project manager who will work with you on your book project until you’re satisfied with the delivered outcome. - 03
What is the difference between developmental editing and copy editing?
Both development editing and copy editing are part of Editage’s professional book editing and formatting service. Editors who work on developmental editing are focused on evaluating the overall quality of the manuscript, including assessing its market potential, and highlighting possible errors that need correction. Copyediting on the other hand is more technical and involves checking the manuscript for grammar, punctuation, syntax, and sentence structure. It also includes validation of statistical data and the correct usage of technical terminology. - 04
