Professional Editing Service Package

Here’s a look at the different professional editing service packages that I offer.

Developmental Editing Package

This comprehensive editing package includes everything you need to take your manuscript through all the way to publication. Work with a top rated editor who will make sure your book provides the best reading experience.

Full Developmental Editing

I take your book through developmental editing to ensure that the central message of the book is consistent. It’s the first (and most important) editing phase. This starts with researching the target reader and going through the book from their perspective. Learn more about the Development Editing Process.

Line Editing to Tighten up Your Book

Once all developmental editing has been completed, I take your book through the line editing process. This editing involves going meticulously through the manuscript sentence-by-sentence to make sure that every word adds value to the book. I am careful not to change the writer’s unique style while fixing issues. My job is to tighten sentence structure and make sure the writing is clear and concise.

Copyediting & Proofreading to Guarantee all Mechanics are Followed

I go through your book word-by-word and make sure all writing mechanics are followed. All incorrect grammar, spelling, and punctuation is corrected. Everything is tracked using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes feature. By the time this editing phase is complete, you’re left with a polished book. Learn more about the Copyediting & Proofreading Process.

Full Kindle and Paperback Formatting

Your book is taken through the rigorous formatting process where it’s laid out to meet Amazon’s strict publishing standards. This isn’t as simple as most people believe. Amazon’s system looks at the hidden format code in a Word Document when converting a book for its platform. I ensure that this coding is right so your book gives readers the best reading experience.

Line Editing Package

This editing package is perfect for authors who have already gone through their book multiple times and are confident in the way the overall message is laid out. Sometimes you just need an editor to look at the technical side of things.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does editing guarantee my book will sell in the top 10 percentile?

No. Book editing guarantees that you are publishing a book that provides value to readers. This is an important step to getting into the top 10 percentile but not the only step. Marketing is what ultimately drives readers to your book. My job is to make sure that anyone reading your book gets the best possible reading experience.

Are you an individual or a company?

Dream Master Publishing is my brand but I do all work myself. I do not have employees or editing teams.

Do you provide a book cover?

No. I provide all interior book files. These interior files are ready to upload. A book cover is considered an exterior book file and requires the services of a graphic designer. In the future, I am considering partnering with a graphic designer to include this service but currently I do not offer graphic design of any kind.

Can you write my book description?

Yes. This will incur additional fees but I can write your book description. I even look up your book’s category and do the proper keyword research to ensure that your book’s description is indexed by Amazon’s powerful search engine.

I haven’t come up with a way to create a set fee for this so I’ll have to judge it on a client-by-client basis. 

What program do you use for editing?

All editing is done in Microsoft Word.

Do you use automated programs for editing?

No. I do all editing passes manually by reading the book line-by-line.

Will you upload my book onto Amazon?

No. When you upload a book onto Amazon (or any self-publishing platform), you are agreeing to a digital contract. Only the author can legally sign that contract. It’s actually against terms of service for me to upload your book onto Amazon.
