Book Editing
- Every manuscript, no matter how professionally written, needs a proofreader and copyeditor to catch and correct typos and rephrase the occasional clumsy sentence. We provide this service at no charge to authors whose manuscripts we accept for publication.
- Many manuscripts also require what is known as developmental editing, which covers structure, character and plot development, and writing style. This entails a thorough and critical review of the manuscript to ensure that:
- The narrative is focussed, unfolds smoothly and is logically consistent
- Information gaps are filled and extraneous material is deleted
- Every sentence is clearly written and easily understood
- The writing style appeals to intended audiences
High-quality developmental editing requires extensive expertise, skill, dedication and time. Yorkland Publishing provides this service at a cost determined by the length of the manuscript and an estimation of the extent of the necessary editing.
