Developmental Editing

Ready to dive deep into the heart of your story? Developmental editing is the crème de la crème of editing services, where our editor swoops in like a plot doctor, diagnosing your story’s “big-picture” health. For fiction, that means digging into your plot twists, character arcs, and the general rhythm of your narrative. If it’s non-fiction, we’re looking at how your lessons or arguments flow, ensuring your readers feel guided rather than lost. This isn’t about fixing typos—it’s about transforming your book from “good” to “legendary.” Think of it as a storytelling bootcamp, where we push, pull, and polish until every element of your manuscript is flexing its best muscles.

Line Editing

Imagine your manuscript as a melody, and line editing as the fine-tuning that makes each note hit just right. Here, we go line-by-line, ironing out clunky sentences and awkward phrasing to create a harmonious flow from start to finish. It’s not just about grammar; it’s about rhythm, tone, and pacing. We make sure each sentence isn’t just doing its job but working in tandem with its neighbors to guide the reader smoothly through your story. We’ll turn your rough draft into something that hums, each sentence leading the reader seamlessly into the next. Oddities? Gone. Clunky phrasing? Smoothed out. It’s like a literary facelift that leaves your prose looking fresh and flawless.

Copyediting

Copyediting is where we bring out the magnifying glass and go full detective on your manuscript. Here, the editor zooms in, word by word, combing through for every sneaky typo, wayward comma, and grammatical faux pas that could throw off even the most forgiving reader. We’ll check spelling, syntax, tense consistency, and even the tiny details like word spacing—because who needs an accidental double space ruining the flow? Think of it as a text tune-up, where each element of your writing is refined to professional standards. The goal? To give your book the polish that makes readers say, “This author knows what they’re doing.”

Book Proofreading

Ah, the final stretch! Proofreading is the last line of defense before your book hits the big leagues. This is where we get out the fine-tooth comb and catch any remaining typos, punctuation slip-ups, or grammar gremlins that managed to dodge the earlier editing phases. It’s surface-level, but don’t let that fool you—proofreading is essential to give your book that crisp, clean finish that says, “I’m ready for the spotlight!” After all, nothing kills a great story faster than a stray comma or an unexpected spelling blunder. With this final polish, your manuscript goes from nearly perfect to absolutely pristine, ready to wow your readers from page one to the very end.

They (Edioak), and my contact there Melissa were so predictable answering all my emails quickly over 17 weeks of a full edit of my first book to them. They spent extra time to make sure that I was completely satisfied. Customer service like this is incredibly rare. I was so happy with the makeover of my manuscript, that I gave them a book already selling online to perform a ""full edit"" on shortly they began one book for me.

We had the pleasure of working with the awesome team from Edioak. As a first time author I was overwhelmed and nervous about publishing my book.
We discovered this gem online and the team was super responsive and soon the worry of having quality editing done was behind me.
I am grateful for their engagement and contribution throughout the process for my book - the unknown girl. If you are looking to get help with editing- look no further. We highly recommend Edioak!

The team at Edioak did an amazing job on the manuscript that I submitted for copy editing. I was very impressed by the quality of the copy-edited manuscript that I received and I can’t wait to have it published in a Journal.
When I first submitted my work for a free sample edit, I was contacted through email after a few hours and I loved what they did to the document. This motivated me to allow them work on the entire document.
The team also keeps you updated all the way to completion of the work.
They are very professional with top notch customer service and care.

I've had five novels edited by them, and they've all turned out beautifully.
Edioak has edited five of my novels, and they always perform an excellent job. Their customer service is outstanding. My most recent work had so many plot holes that after the first round of development edits, I asked if they might opt for one more round of development edits, which my editor graciously accepted and proceeded with; I highly recommend this organisation.

Submitted a manuscript for line editing. Editor did a fantastic job. I was convinced that there were no typos in my 200 pages but they found a half-dozen (along with all the other edits and suggested phrasing changes). I was very pleased with the process and the results. I was told it would take 10 business days to complete but had finished edits in my hands within 5 business days. Always nice when someone performs faster than promised.

Since I have my doctorate in English and a very firm opinion that the work should always be reviewed by a different author. Before trying their sample edit, I already paid 2 editing companies for my book and the quality was sub par. This time I had so many questions and was vary of spending my money. These people after the Sample Edit won my trust. Big cheers to the Editors.

I submitted the manuscript for my first book. There was a lot of work to be done in the 200+ pages of the rough draft. I had my apprehensions as a new writer, but the team at Edioak helped me in an encouraging and friendly manner. While the team remains professional in its services, the editors also connect on a personal level tackling each writer according to his/her writing proficiency.

I loved the final version of the manuscript after three rounds of editing. I will definitely recommend their services to other authors like me.

Thank you Edioak Team. On time delivery was very important as we were approaching the publishing. I sent multiple revisions to them and they maintained the language and consistency across them while improving the flow and impact. This has been a great experience working with them. Will surely work with them in future!

It's rare when you get exactly "as advertised". Edioak spent so much time on my manuscript until I was completely satisfied with the finished book. They replied like "clockwork" and were never a day late with delivering an edit or response. I was so satisfied with the way they treated me, I gave them a book already in circulation to redo for me. I have no reason, neither should you have any reason to look for another editor.

How many rounds of Editing happens on a Manuscript?2021-04-27T10:04:52+00:00

For a development editing project, the minimum number of rounds of editing is four.

One round of Development, Copyedit, line edit and proofreading before giving to the author and after receiving the revised copy, the sequence goes with Copyediting, Lineediting and Proofreading and finally handing the final manuscript to the Author.

Will my Editor carry through the Revision or I have to do it?2021-03-30T15:34:20+00:00

Many times, we confuse revision with editing. Revision is basically reassessing your ideas, your plot, the characters and their personalities. It may also include how the picture unfolds, scene by scene and elimination or addition of certain ideas or replacing with better words.

Whereas, editing is scrutinizing how those ideas are expressed. Whether they resonate with your thoughts, what you are trying to convey, how it is being perceived in the developmental editing phase. And the change of sentence structure, usage of correct punctuation, grammar, better word usage in the subsequent editing phases.
In proofreading, spelling, typos, capitalization, textual inconsistencies and other minor errors are rectified before the final publishing phase.

Now comes who should carry out your Revision. In developmental editing, you take advantage of the editor’s skills, and experience to get the manuscript revised. But the final call has to be yours. After all, it is your masterpiece.

In other editing processes, editors refrain to comment, suggest or give major plot changes suggestions. Here, you are your best judge to revise your manuscript as per how you want it. And finalize it, before you send it to your editor.

How do I decide the level of editing service I need?2021-03-30T15:35:11+00:00

First of all, you need to ask yourself- “How much flexible and open to changes I am in my manuscript?” If not much, it does not matter even if you take the most premium editing service, and are assigned to work with an editor holding expertise in your genre, you won’t be satisfied. The thing is, the editor is going to be your best critic. And if critics and suggestions make you uncomfortable, go with copyediting.

Go with line editing if you are 100% satisfied with your plot and only want editing to contribute to make it the best version of itself.

But if you are highly open and flexible to changes, and could do some hard-work with your editor to shatter all boundaries and barriers to think out of the box to give your ideas some wings, go with developmental editing.

And even then if you are confused to decide the type of book editing, you need not worry. Send us first few pages of your manuscript, along with the sample edit, you will be provided with a package designed specifically for you direct from the editor’s desk.

What is the difference between Proofreading and Heavy Editing?2021-03-30T15:35:47+00:00

Proofreading is entirely different from editing, especially heavy editing (developmental or line-editing). It does not contribute towards the final product whereas the latter not only improves the content significantly but makes the manuscript the best readable version of itself.

Proofreading corrects minute errors, typos, spelling errors, textual inconsistencies and punctuation. It does not leave any room for improvement or up-gradation of your Art. And more importantly, the final manuscript will more likely look similar to what it was prior to getting proofread. Whereas, developmental editing work on your plot, its characters and their personalities to check for major inconsistencies. How your story unfolds, how you start and end your manuscript, are you able to hold their attention midway, all lies in the domain of your developmental editor.

That does not downright rule out its importance. It is highly important to get an edited manuscript proofread before the final publishing to avoid the mishap of 2000 copies in print of ‘City Sage’ instead of ‘City Saga’.

How much time does it take for getting a Book Edited?2021-03-31T06:32:57+00:00

For a 10,000 word manuscript, it takes around 2 days for proofreading to 2 weeks for Heavy Editing. The time also varies on the basis of the editing package being selected.

What are different types of Book Editing?2021-03-31T06:20:02+00:00

There are 4 types of Book Editing.

1)    Developmental Editing

(Also called: conceptual editing or manuscript appraisal.) – Developmental Editing is the most premium editing service, where the ‘’big-picture”- of your plot, your characters and especially your storyline if you are writing fiction, or the organization of lessons for your audience if you are writing non-fiction. Developmental editing comes at an initial phase where the writer is ready to rewrite the manuscript after the expert suggestions, feedbacks and critics of the editor to make the manuscript a masterpiece! 

The novice writers are especially advised to take up developmental editing, as while working on your manuscript with an experienced editor, you learn a lot about writing. It is not a luxury but a prerequisite to becoming an Author.

2)    Line editing

Similar to copy editing, line editing is done after you and your editor are fully satisfied with the construction and organization of your content that is after developmental editing.

Here, the emphasis is on line-to-line editing to make the sentences flow like a song. You might have noticed in professional writings, the ending of a previous paragraph tells a subtle tale about the paragraph that is about to come next. If it is abrupt, as if thrown on the reader out of nowhere, we call it odd.

Many such oddities are removed from your manuscripts in line editing to make each sentence a better version of itself. 

3)    Copy Editing

Whereas in Copy Editing, the editor zoom-in on your manuscript moving word to word, looking for spell-checks, punctuation errors, the syntax used, tense form, inconsistencies, odd word or line spacing and minute grammar rules that 70% of native English speakers are unaware of. Here comes to rescue the precision tool – the “editor’s eye”, that actually sculpt your manuscript into a ‘professional book’ setting your level way high to amateurs.

  Often the novice writers ask me that this type of mechanical editing is even provided in MS WORD, ‘Grammarly’ and other tools, then why can’t we edit our own book using these editing tools, that too free of cost? Why to hire an editor anyway?

Well, a copy-editor is not that mechanical so that you can replace him with a robot. There is so much more to copy-editing than the edits provided by these tools. They altogether skip the part where even a little information processing is required.

A copy-editor even rewrites certain word flow if necessary, he might also suggest if a word fits into the context, or if the “factual” data is correct or not.

For example, there is a good chance that you might skip some geographical facts about the fictional cities you are describing, or some of its indigenous details might be described incorrectly. Here the copy editor comes at your rescue.

Editing tools are indeed helpful and are designed to make your writing experience better. Most writers use these tools as a medium to write their manuscript.

Finally, after copy-editing, a proofreader checks your manuscript on the surface level, surfing for any typos before giving a final pass for publishing.  

4)    Proofreading

This is the final stage of the book editing process and is done as a last recheck scrutinized by the editor, just prior to getting your book published. This is the surface level correction of misspells, grammatical or punctuation errors that might have skipped in the previous editing processes.

Imagine getting 2000 copies printed with the name, “The Sage of Armed-Love”, instead of “The Saga of Armed Love”.

Make sure your manuscript is thoroughly edited before you opt for proofreading. Nowadays editors provide proofreading as complementary with premium editing services like developmental editing, line-editing or at times even copy-editing.
