Sample Chapter Editing

Put your best chapter forward.

Getting a sample chapter right can make the difference between a manuscript request and a rejection. This service gives authors a professional editorial eye on up to 10,000 words before they submit to agents or publishers. It is also suitable for anyone in-house seeking an editing sample before requesting an edit for the full manuscript.

Choose the edit level that suits your needs:

• Copyedit — reviews clarity, consistency, grammar and style
• Developmental edit — high-level feedback on structure, pacing, voice and whether the chapter is doing the job it needs to do
• Proof-read — a final cold read for typographical errors, spelling and layout.

You will receive a marked-up version of your chapter, along with a summary of recommended areas for attention. Not sure which you need? Contact us and we can advise.

Please note this service assumes text-based work: if you require something similar for highly illustrated or heavily designed materials, do get in touch.
