Book Editing

Manuscript Review

With the Manuscript Review our editors will do an “editors read” of your book—either a quick skim, or a strategic read of a little of the beginning, middle, and end—and provide you with a one-page feedback outlining your book’s strengths and areas for improvement. Xulon Press offers three different levels of editing, and your Manuscript Review also includes a custom recommendation for an editorial service, and a sample edit of 500 words of your manuscript.

Editorial Critique

Want more editing guidance? Our Editorial Critique provides an even more in-depth feedback experience to help you as a writer. Our editor will read your entire manuscript and provide a 4+ page outline of their insights. Have a nonfiction book? We’ll talk about things like your target audience, showing-vs-telling, consistency and how to arrange your material. For fiction authors, we’ll provide insight on your story arc, character development, plot, and descriptions. Our editor will also provide a recommendation on the level of edit you should consider and a 1,000 word sample edit.
