  Regardless of the editorial service you may have already completed, once you have revised based on the edit, you may find yourself wanting an editor to see it again. Maybe you would like help to be sure you addressed all of the suggested edits, questions, and comments. Maybe it would be nice to get help to ensure you applied the changes accurately. Also, after having addressed many editing issues, what if there are now additional errors or concerns that would come to light, even though they were not apparent in the earlier edit, when there were so many more issues to be handled? You may notice that as the manuscript becomes cleaner, another editorial pass could help to fine-tune your manuscript and take it to an even higher level of quality before you send it to the design department.

  Even after the design process, it may be a good idea to have another review by an editor experienced in preparing manuscripts for publication. Such an editor may catch errors that can and do occur as the manuscript is transformed into a book during the design and formatting process. An editor could review it for any formatting issues, dropped text, inconsistent fonts or margins, spacing, widows and orphans, and could also check for last minute problems with spelling and punctuation.

  Although published books are never completely perfect, an additional editorial pass may be just what you need to boost your confidence and peace of mind that your book will come off the press looking polished and professional — ready to compete in the marketplace.

  You may purchase an Additional Editorial Pass at any stage, when you believe it would be helpful. If you are uncertain as to when or whether to purchase this kind of editorial check, we’ll be happy to discuss it with you based on your particular situation.
