Book Editor for Self-Publishing

Heyaa, it’s Abhijeet – your friendly Book Blabber and now, your self-publishing book editor!

Self-publishing is an exciting journey, but let’s be honest – your book deserves to be polished and perfect before it reaches readers. A crisp, error-free draft can make all the difference in turning a good book into a great one.

Don’t stress; I’m here to help! My editing services are tailored to improve your completed draft and make it reader-ready. Together, we can bring out the best of your book.

Services Offered

Here’s how I can help refine your manuscript and get it publication-ready. From sharpening your sentences to catching pesky typos and ensuring a consistent layout, these services are designed to make your book shine.

1. Copyediting for a Crisp Draft

Every story deserves to shine, and copyediting ensures your book reads smoothly. I’ll focus on improving clarity, enhancing sentence structure, and tightening up your prose. Along the way, I’ll fix grammar, punctuation and syntax issues, making sure the draft flows seamlessly.

Whether it’s awkward phrasing or repetitive words, I’ll refine your text while staying true to your style. It’s all about creating a reader-friendly book without losing your story’s originality.

2. Proofreading for an Error-Free Draft

Proofreading is the final touch that makes your manuscript sparkle. I’ll comb through your text to catch typos, spelling errors, and minor inconsistencies you might have missed. This service is perfect for manuscripts almost ready for publication and just need that extra polish. Think of it as the quality check your book deserves before it reaches your readers.

3. Formatting and Layout Review

A well-formatted book not only looks professional but also makes reading a breeze. I’ll review your manuscript to ensure consistency in formatting, including chapter headings, line spacing, and margins. I’ll check the overall presentation to ensure everything is clean and cohesive. Whether an eBook or print, your manuscript should look as polished as it reads.
