Substantive Editing

Substantive Editing Expert Guidance to Make Sure Your Book Hits the Bull’s Eye

If you’re not sure that what you’ve written communicates your big idea, or you’re sure it doesn’t but not sure how to make your idea clear and compelling, we can help!

Our award-winning writers, editors, and journalists will visit with you, read your book, give you the expert feedback you need, then provide you with a detailed game plan.

We provide you with detailed advice to optimize the structure and contents of the book to hit your goals—and exactly what you need to hit your desired bull’s eye with your book.

Substantive editing is idea editing—not copyediting or proofing. It looks at the book from 30,000 feet and compares it with your goals for the book.
