Questions & Answers
Book Editing Questions, Answered.
Everything authors ask before handing over their manuscript. Still unsure? Ask us directly.
At Emmaus Publishers, book editing is included in our publishing packages. Proofreading starts at $499 (Basic), and professional line editing, copy editing, and flow review start at $999 (Standard). Premium ($1,999) adds enhanced editing and ghostwriting support. Every package also includes formatting and publishing setup.
There are four main types of book editing: developmental editing (big-picture structure and story), line editing (style, rhythm, and flow), copy editing (grammar, consistency, and accuracy), and proofreading (the final typo check). Most books need at least copy editing and proofreading before publishing.
Copy editing improves grammar, consistency, clarity, and style at the sentence level. Proofreading is the final check for typos, punctuation, and formatting errors after editing is done. Copy editing shapes the text; proofreading polishes it.
Line editing focuses on how your writing sounds: rhythm, word choice, tone, and flow. Copy editing focuses on whether it's correct: grammar, spelling, consistency, and facts. Line editing makes your prose engaging; copy editing makes it error-free.
No. Our editors suggest changes with tracked edits, and you approve or reject each one. The goal is clearer writing that still sounds like you, with your theology and your message untouched.
Yes. We verify verse citations, quotations, and translation consistency, such as NIV versus KJV, so every Scripture reference is accurate and formatted the same way throughout your book.
