Professional Book Editing Services for Self-Published Authors

At Double Day Publishers, we believe editing is more than just fixing typos — it’s about elevating your writing, clarifying your message, and making sure your book reads with polish and power. Whether you’re preparing a print edition or an eBook, we’re here to help bring your manuscript to a professional standard, ready for readers and retailers alike.

Our team of experienced editors is handpicked for their sharp attention to detail and deep knowledge of language. We go beyond grammar — ensuring your writing flows naturally, your message is crystal clear, and your tone stays true to your voice. With experts in a wide range of genres and subjects, we make sure your terminology is accurate and your style consistent — giving your book the refinement it needs to stand out.

Your privacy matters to us. Every editor at Double Day signs a strict confidentiality agreement, and we use secure systems to protect your work. Need extra assurance? We're happy to provide a signed NDA for your peace of mind.

Need multiple rounds of editing? No problem — we offer flexible packages tailored to your book’s needs and your publishing goals.

Line Editing

Line editing focuses on the artistry of your writing — the flow, tone, and style of each sentence. Our editors will refine your prose line by line to enhance clarity, rhythm, and impact, without altering your voice. We’ll help you eliminate awkward phrasing, tighten sentences, and make sure your language fully supports the emotional and narrative tone of your book. Think of it as sculpting your story into its most polished and powerful form.

Copyediting

Copyediting ensures your manuscript is clean, consistent, and professionally polished. We check grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure — but we also look for consistency in names, facts, formatting, and style choices. If your manuscript is ready in terms of structure and story, copyediting is the essential next step before publication. It’s the sharp-eyed check that brings precision and professionalism to your work.

Developmental Editing

Developmental editing is the big-picture stage. We look at your manuscript’s structure, plot, pacing, character development, themes, and narrative arc. Whether you're working on a novel, memoir, or nonfiction book, our editors offer detailed feedback and collaborative suggestions to help shape and strengthen your story from the ground up. Ideal for early drafts or authors who want strategic, story-level guidance.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final polish before your book goes public. Our proofreaders check for minor errors — typos, misplaced punctuation, formatting issues, and final inconsistencies. It’s the last step in the editing process to ensure your manuscript is error-free and ready for print or digital publication. Small details matter — and this is where we catch them all.

Book Reviews & Editorial Assessment

Our editorial assessment offers a professional review of your manuscript’s strengths, weaknesses, and overall market readiness. You’ll receive a detailed report covering structure, style, tone, pacing, character development (for fiction), and potential areas for improvement — without direct edits to the text. Perfect if you want honest, expert feedback before investing in a full edit or sending your manuscript to agents or publishers. It’s like a developmental edit in overview form — thoughtful, thorough, and tailored to your goals.

Editing That Transforms Your Writing

Not sure if your phrasing fits your story’s tone? Wondering if your message is clear, compelling, and ready for readers? That’s where we come in.
