Not every manuscript needs the same level of care. We offer specialized book editing services tailored to the current stage of your journey.
This is the "big picture" edit. Our professional developmental editors analyze your manuscript's core structure.
Line editing focuses on the "art" of your writing. We refine your narrative voice, improve sentence flow, and eliminate repetitive phrasing. This is where your prose becomes truly immersive and professional.
Our copy editing services focus on the "mechanics." We correct grammar, punctuation, syntax, and spelling while ensuring consistency in style (CMS, APA, or house style). We catch the technical errors that AI-checkers often miss.
The last line of defense. Before you hit "publish," our proofreaders scan for any lingering typos, formatting glitches, or stray commas. We ensure your book is 100% error-free.
In an era of automated tools, Verity Ghostwriting remains committed to human-led editorial excellence.
A common question we hear is, "Who owns the rights to my book?" At Verity Ghostwriting, the answer is simple: You do.

Professional book editing costs typically range from **$0.02 to $0.06 per word**, depending on the depth of the edit. Developmental editing sits at the higher end ($0.04-$0.06), while proofreading is more affordable ($0.01-$0.02). At Verity Ghostwriting, we provide transparent, custom quotes based on your manuscript's specific needs.
While often confused, line editing focuses on the style, atmosphere, and flow of your sentences (the "creative" side), whereas copy editing focuses on the technical rules of grammar, consistency, and accuracy (the "mechanical" side). Most successful authors invest in both.
For a standard 70,000-word manuscript, a professional editing pass usually takes 3 to 5 weeks. This allows the editor to perform a deep dive into the text and ensures the highest level of quality control.
Yes! We offer "Query Package" editing for authors looking to pitch to traditional publishers. We polish your query letter, synopsis, and first 20 pages to ensure you grab a literary agent's attention immediately.
Don't let a "rough" draft hold you back from your dreams of authorship. Partner with a professional fiction and non-fiction editor who cares about your story as much as you do.
