Editorial

All writers need a good editor.

Flatpage offers manuscript editing services for nonfiction authors across various genres and disciplines. Whether you’re a general nonfiction or academic author who needs assistance with the grammar or style of your writing; a journalist seeking to publish a long-form manuscript; or a corporate marketing executive, NGO staff member, or museum curator who wants to make a strong impression in your external communications, we can help you. Our authors typically write essays and articles, blog posts and educational content, as well as book manuscripts for independent, trade, or university presses.

We provide high-quality editing with a fast turnaround and, because we work as a team, we have nearly unlimited availability. Our editors have master’s and PhDs in various subject areas, as well as specialized training and years of experience as manuscript editors. Many have published their own books and articles, including online and with renowned publishers.

  1. Coaching

    Coaching provides authors with a tailored, 1:1 experience with a trained professional who can assist in strategizing your manuscript as a whole, crafting your research into a digestible and engaging narrative, and providing accountability and moral support throughout the writing process. It’s ideal for authors who need help beyond the manuscript itself.

  3. Line editing

    Line editing is used to address the style of your writing so that it has maximal impact. Our line editors are experts at the craft of writing and have published widely themselves. We can help you maintain a consistent tone, improve word choice, identify text to be cut or expanded upon, and write clear sentences in native English.

  4. Copyediting

    Copyediting involves a rinse of your manuscript, with attention to grammar, punctuation, and mechanics (i.e., conforming it to house style or manual like the Chicago Manual of Style). Whether you’re a novice or experienced writer, this service will ensure that you deliver a clean document to your respective publisher, journal editor, or advisory committee.

  5. Proofreading

    Proofreading is the final stage in the publication process and is reserved for minor typos and consistency between manuscript sections on page proofs. By the time you are ready for a proofread, your manuscript should have already gone through a content (developmental) edit and a copyedit. This service will ensure that your manuscript is publication-ready.

  6. Indexing

    Our trained indexers can help you create a guide to your book’s contents so that readers can find important information as quickly and easily as possible. Alongside their final read of the book’s page proofs and compilation of names, terms, and themes, the indexer will also generate a list of errata for your publisher.
