Editing
Editing involves more than just checking for spelling and grammar: it’s about making sure your meaning is clear. Whether you need a basic check for sense or a full structural edit, Letterati Publishing Services will tailor an approach to suit your purpose, budget and timeframe.
A good editor can visualise your project beyond a simple copyedit. Editorial services include:
- styling/tagging the manuscript for typesetting
- providing a detailed sample chapter for design purposes
- editing and preparing artwork for illustrators
- resolving queries with authors
- checking page proofs and compiling feedback (PDF or hard copy).

Letterati Publishing Services can guide your content from unedited manuscript through to the final product. The right people for your project are selected from our network of experienced and trusted professionals.
Project management services include:
- developing existing and new content

Proofreading
Proofreading is a valuable stage in producing professional and accurate material. This can range from a light proofread for sense up to a full proofread for consistency. If requested, Letterati Publishing Services can also look at your content from a visual perspective, ensuring that the design and layout match your expectations.
Editing and proofreading mean more than checking for spelling and grammar: they’re about making sure your meaning is clear.

Thank you for all the work you did on our series of science books from beginning to end to get them into shape for a professional publication. You were very friendly to work with and kept us informed of the relevant stages the books went through. You were thorough in your editing and we were impressed by your sourcing of the various photographs we asked to be included and the chance to decide which of those photographs to use, when there were multiple views. We also liked the way that you would question some concept we wrote about if it was not clear to you. As authors, having the relevant background in science, we may inadvertently overlook something or fill in the gaps. You were forthcoming in drawing our attention to this as, after all, the books are aimed at students who do not have a deep understanding of the subject. Your ease with the use of technology was another point we noted and this helped to streamline and simplify the whole process. It was a great experience working with you. Right from the moment the manuscript was transmitted until the print files were finalised, you were of great help and support throughout the process.
