Manuscript Coaching
Coaching starts with a discovery meeting and a thorough review of your writing. Keeping your intended audiences in mind, your coach will help you devise a work plan. This may include brainstorming ideas; help with basic structuring; writing exercises; and feedback on your content. Whatever your project, a coach will help you stay motivated to the finish line.
Manuscript Evaluation
The manuscript evaluation is often the first step in the publishing process and occurs before the editing stage. The goal is to give you feedback that will allow you to improve the structure, content, and/or language of the manuscript.
Developmental Editing
Think of the developmental editor (DE) as your guide throughout the process of revising and finalizing your manuscript’s text. The DE will not write (or rewrite) your book, but will read it from an editor’s perspective and advise accordingly, taking your intended audiences into consideration.
Copy Editing
Copy editing ensures sentence-level clarity and correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. The copy editor will also note things like plot holes or name mix-ups. A check for consistency in formatting will also be done.
Proofreading
As the final step in the editorial cycle, your book is proofread to ensure that grammar, spelling, formatting, etc. are correct and consistent. Any book published with Mission Point Press or its imprints must be proofread by one of our editors.
Ghostwriting
A ghostwriter can collaborats with you to develop ideas, conduct research, and writes the manuscript in the author’s voice. They enhance clarity through editing, maintain confidentiality, and manage timelines to keep the project on track. Ultimately, they bring the author’s vision to life with expert support throughout the process.
