Give editors more time for the decisions only editors can make.

editorial gives publishing teams a structured second pass across full-length English manuscripts. It surfaces explainable proofreading, copyediting, and stylistic editing suggestions, supported by book-length consistency checks, so editors can spend more time on the decisions that shape the book.

One structured review Proofreading · Copyediting · Stylistic editing

How we review

Three editorial lenses. One accountable review.

Each lens asks a different question of the manuscript. Every suggestion stays connected to its source passage and rationale, so editors can decide what belongs.

Check the mechanics

Proofreading

Find spelling and punctuation issues that can distract readers or undermine polish.

Example

Each chapter openopens with a short scene.

“Each chapter” is singular, so the verb takes “opens.”
Check meaning and consistency

Copyediting

Surface grammar and usage issues, unclear syntax, inconsistent terms, continuity breaks, and references that may need verification. Factual flags are prompts to verify, not final fact-checks.

Example

The appendix uses “North Star”; this chapter uses “Northstar”“North Star”.

The same program appears under two different names. Confirm the approved form.
Check the reading experience

Stylistic editing

Suggest ways to improve clarity, rhythm, repetition, and flow while keeping the author’s voice and intent visible.

Example

At this point in time, she was finally able to leave.Now, she could finally leave.

A more direct construction keeps the pace moving.

Book-length context

A manuscript is a system, not a stack of sentences.

Names, timelines, capitalization, terminology, voice, and house decisions must remain coherent hundreds of pages apart. editorial is designed to review the manuscript as a connected whole and keep every suggestion tied to its location and rationale.

  • Consistency across chapters
  • Names, terms, timelines, and capitalization
  • Context-aware suggestions, not isolated rewrites
  • Review report and Annotated manuscript
  • Include or Exclude control for each suggestion

Built for publishing teams

A clearer handoff at every editorial stage.

Use editorial wherever a manuscript would benefit from one more structured, explainable pass, without taking judgment away from the people who know the book.

Editors and copy chiefs

Run a first-pass review before assigning work, or a final consistency pass before a manuscript moves downstream. Keep attention on authorial intent, house style, and judgment calls.

Common uses First-pass review · author queries · final clean-up

Managing editors and production editors

Surface recurring issues before copyediting, typesetting, or proof review. Use the traceable suggestions to prepare an editorial handoff.

Common uses Editorial handoff · production prep · proof review

Independent presses and imprints

Add a structured second look when capacity is tight, while keeping author voice, editorial standards, and every final decision in-house.

Common uses New acquisitions · revised manuscripts · list consistency

Our principles

The manuscript stays yours. So does the judgment.

Four principles shape how editorial fits into a professional publishing workflow.

Every suggestion is explainable.

See the source passage, proposed change, and editorial rationale together before making a decision.

Nothing changes automatically.

Suggestions begin as Unreviewed. Editors choose Include or Exclude; the tool does not silently rewrite the manuscript.

Unpublished work requires explicit handling terms.

Before production intake opens, the approved Privacy Policy and written agreement must state how manuscript content may be used, how long files are retained, and how deletion works. This page does not establish those terms.

Editorial boundaries are stated plainly.

Suggestions support review; they are not legal advice, rights clearance, or a comprehensive fact-check. The publishing team remains the final authority.

Designed for accountability

Every suggestion should earn its place.

The review supports editorial judgment. It does not replace it.

Our point of view

Publishing judgment: supported, not replaced.

Editing has always combined rules, context, and taste. editorial brings modern analysis into that tradition: precise enough to help, transparent enough to question, and humble enough to leave the final decision with the editor.
