All Service Combined Package

This Package includes all three editing services and formatting offered at a 30% discounted rate.

Anisa highly recommends this editing service for those authors looking for a “one-stop shop,” as it allows her the chance to connect with the author and the story from day one.

With this service package, Anisa can help shape and refine the manuscript every step of the way, ensuring that the author’s vision is met from draft one to printed novel. It is ideal for any author, especially those new to the industry, who are looking for more guidance.

After this edit, the manuscript can be sent off to ARC readers.

  • Developmental editing takes approximately 1.5 weeks per round.

  • Line/Copy editing takes approximately 3 weeks per round.

Important Scope of Work Note

This package includes the editing stages, rounds, and formatting deliverables specified in your quote. It does not automatically include unlimited revisions, additional proofreading, substantial editing after major manuscript changes, bespoke cover design, publishing or uploading services, or work outside the agreed scope.

The final scope, included rounds, and delivery schedule will be confirmed in your contract.

Sample Edit

  • I offer a free sample edit of the first 5000 words of the manuscript. If a chapter is cut off, the rest of the chapter can still be supplied!

  • This ensures that my editing style, feedback delivery, and editorial sheet all make sense to you (the author)

  • For this package deal, you will receive a sample edit for both a developmental and line/copy service. Proofreading service not included.

  • The first stage focuses on the overall story and its structure.

    • Assess plot structure, story progression, and unresolved plot points.

    • Review characterisation, motivations and character arcs.

    • Assess point of view, pacing, scene development, and narrative flow.

    • Consider themes, tone, worldbuilding, and genre expectations.

    • Identify continuity issues and opportunities to strengthen the story.

    • Provide developmental feedback through in-manuscript comments and/or an editorial letter.

    Basic mechanical errors noticed during this stage may be flagged, but this is not a substitute for the dedicated line/copy editing stage.

    Refer to the Developmental Editing Service Inclusions page for the full breakdown of this service.

  • Following developmental editing, you will have the opportunity to review the feedback and revise your manuscript.

    • You decide which recommendations to implement, taking your creative vision into account.

    • You are responsible for completing your revisions before the next stage begins.

    • The line/copy editing stage will be scheduled once the revised manuscript is received in accordance with the agreed timeline.

    • Substantial changes beyond the agreed scope may require the project schedule or fee to be reassessed.

    The author revision period is separate from the editor's estimated completion time.

  • Once the revised manuscript is received, the line/copy editing stage focuses on language, clarity, and consistency.

    • Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.

    • Review syntax, sentence construction, and paragraph flow.

    • Improve clarity, word choice, and readability while preserving the author's voice.

    • Check consistency in terminology, names, locations, and established manuscript details.

    • Apply the agreed style guide and language conventions.

    • Record corrections using Track Changes and add comments where author input is required.

    • Conduct a final read-through for errors that may have been overlooked during earlier editing stages.

    Proofreading assumes the manuscript has been revised and is in its final form. Substantial changes made after proofreading may require additional work.

    Refer to the Proofreading Service Inclusions page for the full breakdown.

  • Once proofreading is complete and the manuscript has been finalised, formatting begins.

    • Set up the agreed trim size and page layout.
