Book Editing Services 

Fiction and Non-Fiction Book Editing

At Scribblers Online we provide manuscript proofreading and copyediting services for all fiction and non-fiction books. Our editing and proofreading services for non-fiction books cover all topics, including academic textbooks, while our fiction editing includes all styles, from historical novels of over 200,000 words to short science fiction stories and novellas. 

Academic Book and Textbook Editing

Our academic book and textbook editing service covers a wide range of specialist areas in the arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. 

Proofreading

Proofreading a manuscript involves checking the text for correctness in spelling, punctuation  and grammar. This is a methodical process during which the editor must read through the text word by word, slowly and carefully, to ensure absolute accuracy. 

Copyediting

Copyediting a manuscript involves studying the text as a whole, rather than by the painstaking word by word methods of proofreading. Copyediting checks the manuscript for consistency of language and sense of story line or argument progression, as well as the use of appropriate textual voice, style and vocabulary.  

Book Editing to your Publisher’s Specifications

Your manuscript may require copy editing services, proofreading services or a combination of both of these book editing services. You may also need your manuscript restructuring, during or after the editing process, in order for it to agree with publisher specifications. If you are publishing in the US, we can help you with UK to US editing and re-writing.

Whatever your requirements, our experienced book editors will ensure that your manuscript is edited to your exact specifications and that your book is ready for publication.
