Discuss Your ManuscriptFrequently Asked
Questions From Authors
A few of the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, we welcome the conversation.
What genres do you edit?+
We work with literary and commercial fiction across most genres, as well as narrative non-fiction and memoir. If we are not the right fit for your project, we will say so honestly.
How do I know which service I need?+
If you are unsure, start with a message describing your manuscript. We will review the stage of your work and recommend the most useful next step, often a manuscript evaluation or developmental edit.
Do you edit first drafts?+
Yes, provided the draft is complete. First drafts typically benefit most from a manuscript evaluation or developmental edit before line-level work.
How long does editing take?+
Timelines depend on the manuscript length and the level of editing. Once we understand your project, you receive a clear timeline before any work begins.
Will my voice be preserved?+
Yes. Preserving your voice is central to how we edit. Suggestions are offered to strengthen your writing on its own terms, never to rewrite it in someone else's.
Do you work with international authors?+
Yes. We work with authors worldwide and correspond by email so time zones are rarely an issue.
Can I ask questions after receiving my edits?+
Absolutely. Every engagement includes a window of follow-up support so you can raise questions as you revise.
