BOOK EDITING / STRUCTURE, STORY & STYLE
You know your story too well to read it for the first time. Our book editing services help you see where a reader may lose the thread, where a scene needs more weight and which sentences get in the way. Choose a manuscript assessment, developmental editing with chapter-level comments, or developmental and line editing together for a clear route through your next revision.
Packages from $490 USD

01
The editorial letter separates structural priorities from smaller concerns. You can focus on the changes that affect the reader's experience across the book.
02
Standard and Premium place comments where the problem appears. A chapter outline helps you see how pacing, character decisions and continuity connect.
03
Premium makes sentence-level suggestions in tracked changes. You can inspect every edit, keep deliberate stylistic choices and use the style sheet for consistency.
Get an assessment of structure, pacing, characters, viewpoint and readership before deciding how extensively to revise.
Use developmental comments and the chapter outline to understand where scenes repeat, motivation weakens or the story loses momentum.
Use Premium when you also want line-level clarity, flow and dialogue work on the version you submit.
Send the manuscript, word count, genre, synopsis and target reader. Tell us which parts worry you and which stylistic choices matter to you.
We read for structure, pacing, character and viewpoint, adapting the criteria to your genre and aims.
We write the letter and the annotations in your package. Premium includes tracked line edits and a style sheet for the supplied version.
Use your included rounds to ask questions and request adjustments to the agreed edit. Receive the final files and a clear set of priorities for your own revision.
01
A Word and PDF assessment with manuscript examples, structural observations and prioritized recommendations.
02
An editable Word manuscript with margin comments, plus a chapter-by-chapter outline that maps the work ahead.

The edit applies to one supplied manuscript version. You retain authorship and decide which suggestions to accept; publication and sales depend on decisions beyond this service. Typesetting, cover design, submission and a final proof after your rewrites are separate work.

A complete Word manuscript, word count, synopsis, genre, target reader and the questions you want the edit to address. Tell us the language, spelling preference and any intentional choices you want preserved.
Basic gives you an editorial letter. Standard adds comments inside the manuscript and a chapter outline to guide structural revision. Premium also edits sentences in tracked changes and supplies a style sheet. You can review and accept each proposed text change.
We work with AI agents to support analysis, consistency checks and suggested edits. A person reviews the editorial work against your manuscript and brief before delivery. We are David Colón and Flor's Zaragoza studio, designing since 2010, Fiverr Pro and Top Rated, with 1,000+ reviews and a 4.8-star rating.
You retain authorship and choose the changes you accept. This is an editorial service, not a publishing or representation agreement. Publication, agent interest and sales are not guaranteed.
Basic and Standard include one consolidated round of questions or adjustments to the edit; Premium includes two. A full reread of a rewritten manuscript is a new scope. Premium's line edit applies to the version submitted, so substantial later rewrites may need another pass.
