Our novel editing process: What is included

We combine proofreading and basic editing in our novel and book editing service. The advice and experience of two editors can really help to improve your manuscript and get it ready for publishing.

Proofreading removes errors of:

-Basic grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Editing takes a deeper look at:

-Improving sentence structure by rephrasing awkward sentences

-Improving word choice, tone, flow and readability

-Where appropriate, make comments and suggestions in the margin about content, such as plot problems, weak dialogue, etc.

Another way in which we differ from other online proofreading companies is that we use two expert editors on every document that is sent to us.

We have worked with many authors to improve their work, including children’s and young adult novels.

The service includes basic manuscript critique which consists of a one-page summary of some big-picture issues that could be improved.

How the editor will make changes

Our editors use the tracked changes feature in Microsoft Word. Comments are added to clarify sections that are unclear or flag up repetition.

How much does it cost to edit a 100k word novel?

We charge a flat-rate fee of £13 per 1,000 words, so 100,000 words would cost £1,300.

Competitive turnaround times

Do you have a quick turnaround time? We can tailor when we send your manuscript back to fulfil your requirements.

What our customers say

Excellent journal article editing

Much more affordable than other companies. I sent my article on Friday afternoon and thought I’d get my work back after two business days. So I was surprised to get my proofread document back by the Monday. My writing now reads more fluently. I highly recommend this proofreading service. Mohamed, Indonesia

The best proofreading services

I’m absolutely delighted with the proofreading of my PhD thesis. The attention to detail, clear suggestions, and care taken with academic tone and flow were outstanding. Every chapter read cleaner and more coherent, with inconsistencies, minor errors, and awkward phrasing expertly resolved while preserving my voice. Turnaround was prompt, communication was professional, and the feedback was precise and actionable.  Charlotte, UK

Very satisfied

This is my second time using London Proofreaders; they have done an amazing job yet again. Several mistakes which were initially overlooked by me were pointed out through the service. Anushka, UK

Affordable scientific editing 

Needed my manuscript refined in time for the Christmas deadline, so I opted for the expedited service. London Proofreaders delivered the improved version within just three days—impressive speed!

What stood out was the thoroughness of their work. The proofreader genuinely engaged with my manuscript, understood the context, and provided insightful recommendations that enhanced clarity and readability. Their attention to detail made a real difference.

Highly satisfied with the experience—I’ll definitely be returning for my next project! Amanti, Malaysia
