Does the formatting of your Word manuscript frustrate you/confuse you? Have you written your manuscript in another format and now they are asking for a Word document? Have you converted from a PDF and your manuscript is all a mess?

The correct formatting of a manuscript means more than just looks – it can help readers and designers alike to understand your content. Get the best results from readers and designers by having your manuscript appropriately formatted.

Make your life that little bit easier! By using a Word template when you start writing your novel, it takes all of the guesswork out of formatting and allows you to focus on the important things – writing – the thing you are good at!

• Choose from pre-made templates that suit your style.
• Free instructional video on how to use the templates included.

You have a finished draft – fantastic! Now you need a fresh perspective on your story. A beta reading identifies issues with pacing, character arc, writing style and/or plot-holes. It is the first step to ensuring that your manuscript is ready for publication. After a beta reading you will be supplied:

• A summary detailing the basic elemental features of your story.
• Chapter analyses that help you to map out and address any issues.

A proofread is your final line of defense before your work is publishable. It focuses on your work as a whole and ensures that throughout the previous editing processes nothing was missed. A proofread also checks that any changes made prior to the proofread did not cause disruption to your overall story/work. After proofreading you will be supplied with:

• A summary of the basic elements of your manuscript
• A Track-Changed document detailing any changes.

Copy editing focuses on editing in a line-by-line manner. An editor will read each line of the manuscript, suggesting line, word, or occasionally paragraph adjustments. This will not typically involve comments on the overall manuscript structure, but if anything significant is noted, this may be brought up. 

• A document containing changes made using Track Changes.

A guide on how to accept/reject these changes can be found on the Writer’s Resources Page.

Structural editing focuses on similar issues to the beta reading above, however, the feedback will be much more detailed and narrow. In addition to the chapter analyses and summary, you will be supplied with:

• A document containing changes made using Track Changes.

A guide on how to accept/reject these changes can be found on the Writer’s Resources Page.
