Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need editing or proofreading?

Editing (Line/Copy) focuses on sentence structure, clarity, and style. Proofreading is the final step that catches typos and punctuation errors. If your manuscript is a rough draft, you need editing. If it is finalized but needs a final polish, you need proofreading. We offer both.

Will the editor change my writing style or voice?

Absolutely not. Our goal is to enhance your writing, not rewrite it. We preserve your unique voice while correcting errors and improving flow.

What file format do you prefer for editing?

We work primarily in Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) using the “Track Changes” feature so you can see every edit we make. We can also work with Google Docs.

What is the turnaround time for editing?

The timeline depends on the word count and the level of editing required. However, we pride ourselves on fast turnaround times and can accommodate rush orders upon request.

Will I receive a book formatting service as well?

Yes! Once your book is edited, Ink Waves Publishing can handle your formatting, cover design, and publication to ensure a smooth transition to the market.

Do you offer formatting for Kindle and Paperback?

Yes, we format for all major platforms including Amazon KDP (Kindle & Paperback), IngramSpark, and Barnes & Noble Press.
