Non-Fiction Book Developmental Editing and Proofreading
Pain Points (Public)
Independent non-fiction authors approaching publication lack structured editorial pipelines to systematically resolve draft issues across maturity stages, struggling to balance macro-level narrative clarity with micro-level compliance against standards like the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) while preserving their original voice.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Provide a tiered non-fiction editorial workflow that cleanly separates developmental content critique from mechanical copy editing and proofreading, leveraging Microsoft Word Track Changes and bespoke project style sheets to ensure formatting rigor, terminology consistency, and seamless continuity across multi-book projects.
