Copy Editing

Every author needs a second pair of eyes to look at their work. Our skilled editors have experience copy-editing books in every genre.

How Does It Work?

Copy-editing is the act of fine-tuning a book’s text, otherwise known as the ‘copy.’ Overall, the purpose of copy-editing is to ensure that the language supports the writer’s intent while also creating the most readable version of their book. Our copy-edit process will address the following. 

  • Incorrect facts, anomalies, inconsistencies and glaring typos
  • Ensure that the language supports the writer’s intent
  • The main goal being to create the most readable version of your book

Professional copy-editors can make sure your manuscript isn’t riddled with bad grammar, spelling mistakes, or glaring inconsistencies (when paired with proofreading). They won’t enter into big-picture issues such as characterisation, plot or pacing.

 

Instead, they will go through the manuscript line by line and focus on all the little things you might not have thought about. They’ll catch scenes in which your antagonist is wearing sunglasses and spectacles at the same time. They’ll save your tone and style from unintentionally wild shifts between sections. They’ll pull your book together page by page.

Let's talk about your book.

Self-Publishing Testimonials


As a published author, I decided to try self-publishing my next book ‘That Bloody Band’. I did much on-line research and realised that there was quite a bit of work to be done to see the book published to a high standard. There are many pitfalls and some rogue companies out there.. Then I found Publishing Push. I placed the manuscript and photos in their safe hands and it was all done for me. The staff at Publishing Push could not have been more helpful or friendly. They patiently listened to what I wanted and communicated daily with me over layout and design, then simply got on with it in the most professional manner and in the style required. My book is now on Amazon and other top booksellers shelves with excellent reviews. I will definitely be using them again for my next book. Thank you Publishing Push!

An unstinting, accurate mailout with all details shared. Always direct support: lively, respectful and focused discussions about content and marketing from Publishing Push. Our doubts and concerns carefully considered in the attempt to try to capture as many potential reviewers as possible in a market drenched with lockdown publication pushing. I believe that so far, a low, slow return is about a saturated market, not about the service received. This is how can be for a GOOD book (albeit unusual category) with many existing 5 star reviews and high praise across the board, so 'be aware - its unfair!' Thank you Publishing Push, lets keep going as things start to look more hopeful, with your continuing efforts.
