Professional readability earns respect for your book. Due to popular demand, Roval is now offering copyediting service to all our publishers. Good writers do not necessarily make good editors and as a writer you should only have to worry about your manuscript's message, but if you are assuming the role of publishing, your work should have the professional polish readers expect. Roval will handle most common genres, however certain areas of publishing (highly technical for example) require specialized editors.
Let us take care of it
Proper copyediting is something best left to the professionals. Roval has hired trusted editors we have come to know and value over the years. These helpful experts will work with long established industry standards to put the finishing touches on your masterpiece.
How does it work?
Copyediting is not the "hack and slash" you would expect in a first edit. It's a final review aimed at improving the readability. Our staff will look for dozens of common errors as well as offer constructive comments throughout your manuscript. Your manuscript will be returned to you as a "marked up" MS Word file and the choice to accept the changes will always be up to you.
Some of the things our editors will comment on or correct:
- Spelling
- Capitalization
- Grammar
- Punctuation
- Hyphenation
- Word usage
- Clear and consistent usage
- Notes, bibliographies and references to other works
