If you're looking to hire a professional book editor for your fiction manuscript, you're in the right place. Our team has more than two decades of experience in more than just editing — we're readers, writers, and love being hands-on in the story creation process.
We accept manuscripts of all sizes and genres, including incomplete drafts, but have a slight preference and specialization for Fantasy and Science Fiction.
Premium Tier
The deepest level of editing, focused on the big-picture elements of your story — structure, pacing, character arcs, plot, tension, and worldbuilding. We work at the level of the story itself, not the sentence.
Every developmental edit includes a full editorial assessment — a detailed written report identifying your manuscript's strengths and the specific changes that would strengthen it. In-document comments are used for targeted notes that reference the assessment directly.
All Tiers
Focused on clarity, consistency, and correctness at the sentence level. We address grammar, syntax, word choice, repetition, and flow — everything that affects how smoothly your prose reads without altering your voice.
All copy edits include in-document comments explaining the reasoning behind significant changes, so you understand every decision and stay in control of your manuscript.
Standard Tier
A professional reader's perspective on your manuscript before it goes further. We read your work the way your target audience would, then provide honest, structured feedback on what's landing and what isn't.
Our beta read goes beyond personal opinion — we evaluate engagement, pacing, character relatability, and genre expectations, giving you actionable insight from readers who understand fiction deeply.
Basic Tier
The final pass before your manuscript is ready for submission or publication. We catch spelling errors, punctuation mistakes, formatting inconsistencies, and any remaining grammatical issues that slipped through earlier stages.
Proofreading assumes your manuscript has already been edited. If you're not sure which service is the right starting point, our free sample edit will help you figure that out.
We edit fiction exclusively, across all genres and manuscript sizes — including incomplete drafts. Our team has a particular specialization in Science Fiction and Fantasy.
Our team came to editing through a love of fiction — not the other way around. We've spent years writing, self-publishing, and reading deeply in the genres we edit. If your shelves include Sanderson, Tchaikovsky, or anyone building worlds that demand a second read, you're in the right place.
Professional editing should be accessible to writers at every stage — not just those with a publisher's budget behind them. We've built our pricing to sit at the quality end of the market without putting it out of reach. Your story deserves serious editing. It shouldn't cost you a serious compromise to get it.
Handing your manuscript to an editor takes trust. We make that easier with a free sample edit — up to 3,000 words, returned within two days, with no obligation to continue. See exactly how we work, how we communicate, and what our edits look like on your writing before you decide anything.
Every project is backed by a signed contract with clear scope, pricing, and timelines laid out before any work begins. You'll always know exactly what you're getting and what it costs. If something isn't clear, we're easy to reach — and we'd rather over-communicate than leave you guessing.
Most editing relationships end when the file lands in your inbox. Ours doesn't. Once your manuscript is back with you, we're still available to answer questions, clarify our reasoning, and think through your next steps together. Your story doesn't stop being our concern the moment the work is technically done.
After receiving their final edits and editorial assessment, my jaw dropped at the depth of what was provided. They listed many things that worked, and many things that didn't — but they didn't stop there. They provided solution options on how to improve what I had. I'm so impressed that I'm already looking forward to contracting with them again. They gained a loyal fan for life. 10/10 Experience.
This was my first time working with a professional editor. Matthew was kind and professional.

The feedback I received was spot on. As it's my first book, his guidance was pivotal in making me understand how to approach the story. Very happy with his services.
ProjectK Publishing provided invaluable insight, cutting through that heady complexity to bridge the gap between my vision and the audience. They opened up the world in ways I hadn't fully considered, making the story more accessible without losing its soul.
