Editorial Services

From line-level copyedits to fact-checking and back-of-book indexing — every manuscript reaches print clear, consistent, and discoverable.

Overview

The editorial rigour your imprint is known for, at scale.

Our editors handle the full manuscript lifecycle: developmental edits, copyediting, proofreading, fact-checking, and indexing — to your style guide, not a generic one.

Automated style-guide checks run at intake so our editors spend their time on substance over syntax, and a centralised tracker keeps every title and grade level visible to your team.
