01 / THE APPROACH
A careful read before a single change.
Every manuscript has its own aims and rhythm. We begin by understanding the intended reader, the stage of the draft and the questions you want answered. Then we make editorial suggestions that explain the reason for a change, so you can decide what serves the work.

05 / QUESTIONS
Before we open the draft.
These answers help you decide what to include in a first enquiry.
Will you keep my writing voice?
That is part of the brief. We suggest changes for clarity and consistency, mark them for review and query passages where an author’s choice matters.
Do I need to send the full manuscript first?
No. Start with the genre, word count, stage and a short description of what you need. We can agree on a suitable sample and secure delivery method before you share the draft.
What format will the edits arrive in?
We agree on a compatible document format before work begins. Sentence-level edits are supplied with visible changes and comments; assessments include written notes.
Can you prepare work for a specific publisher?
We can review your accompanying materials against the requirements you provide. The author remains responsible for checking current submission guidelines and sending the work.
Does editing guarantee publication?
No. Editorial work helps you revise and present a manuscript, while acceptance decisions belong to publishers, agents or other recipients.
