Editing & Proofreading
There is nothing professional about grammatical or typographical errors. Nothing ejects a reader from a book faster than these. Readers who leave a book because it was substandard rarely return. And they complain about the poor experience on social media.
Writing Nights provides the same stellar editing you'd get from a large publishing house, without the inflated fees.

Like all Editorial Service professionals, Writing Nights is conversant with all the editing tiers --
Proofreading, Line editing, and Developmental editing.
Proofreading is concerned with typographical edits, grammar edits, punctuation etc.
Line editing is the same as proofreading plus attention to sentence structure, paragraph meaning, continuity, clarity, syntax, and flow.
Developmental editing is the same as line editing but it also delves into storytelling or world-building errors. You check that voice and tone appropriately characterize ideas and effectively create appropriate mood. Developmental editing is an attempt at consilience, an homage to synergy. All good books make that attempt.
As is our custom, our editing services are collaborative processes. We use Tracked Changes, and each manuscript benefits from multiple passes. We adhere strictly to the Chicago Manual of Style as books should be formatted thus. For Science and Academic titles we follow MLA or APA Style guides as are appropriate.
