Throughout the written analysis and developmental editing stages of your book project, we will retain the formatting that you used in your manuscript file.
When we begin copyediting, we will also format your manuscript to prepare it for the interior design.
Combining copyediting and formatting services helps us understand and interpret the logic of your book (e.g., heading levels, bulleted and numbered lists, and other design elements) as we read it.
Once your manuscript has been tagged with paragraph styles, the interior design will be consistent, and changes can be easily made.
If you plan to submit your manuscript to a traditional publisher, we can also format it according to their specifications.
To keep your costs down, we are happy to train you to format your manuscript before we start working on it.
