 Copyediting Service




Writing that is worth publishing is worth a careful edit. Your message deserves it, and so do your readers. It is what distinguishes a professional book from an amateur one. Even the best writers make mistakes, but thanks to professional copyeditors, you can make sure that your readers never get to see them. The Xlibris copyediting service corrects and clarifies the completed manuscript, word by word, before the transition to a published book. It makes your writing more concise, clear, and appealing to your readers.

Our seasoned editors catch grammar mistakes and spelling errors before your book goes to press. Adhering to a strict editorial process, Xlibris’ copyeditors review your manuscript carefully, correcting errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax. In addition, they will verify cross-references and impose industry-standard style considerations. And as always with Xlibris, you retain full control of your work because you are free to accept or reject the changes we suggest.

The price of the Copyediting service varies depending on the length of your manuscript:

Word Count
Price Per Word
10,000 - 60,000 words $0.012
60,001 - 120,000 words $0.011
120,001 + words $0.01

See sample page of an actual copyedited manuscript.

Editor’s Note: Xlibris’ Copyediting service is based on the guidelines presented in the Chicago Manual of Style. Spelling is based on Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
