At Brockway Gatehouse, I understand that everyone’s writing journey is different; there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fiction editing. I can help you polish your manuscript with my editing services tailored just for you.

Brockway Gatehouse Professional Manuscript Editing Services

Professional Manuscript Editing Services

Choose the editing service that best suits your needs and goals:

Beta Reading

Beta reading, also known as alpha reading, can be your first step towards manuscript improvement.

Entrust your work to me, and you’ll gain valuable insights from an outside reader who evaluates your story from a fresh perspective.

What to Expect from the Beta Read:

During the beta read, I’ll dive deeply into your narrative, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. My inline comments provide immediate feedback, offering you valuable insights into reader reactions. You will also receive a written report with my feedback.

Pricing: £0.002 per word

Beta Read

Manuscript Critique

My manuscript critique service provides a comprehensive assessment of your work. I evaluate key elements of your story, providing a detailed report with actionable advice and ideas for enhancement. My inline comments provide immediate feedback, offering you valuable insights into reader reactions.

What A Manuscript Critique Covers:

My manuscript critique analyses important elements such as structure, plot, characters, voice, style, and dialogue. My goal is to help you elevate your manuscript to the next level.

Timeliness and Expertise:

Expect a turnaround time of two weeks, depending on word count and schedule. Benefit from insights from an expert who understands your genre and the publishing world.

Developmental Editing

For authors seeking a thorough examination of their work, my developmental editing service focuses on the big picture. I assess plot, characters, structure, tension, theme, genre, and writing style.

What Developmental Editing Includes:

Developmental editing can also be called content or substantive editing. It is a comprehensive makeover for your text that improves its structure, content, and organisation. Developmental editors often work with writers from the very beginning of a project or right after the first draft.

My professional developmental editing feedback comes in a detailed report. I also supply notes within the text and the additional option of face-to-face call via Zoom. You have the final say on how to apply my advice.

Pricing: £0.03 per word

Developmental Edit

Copy Editing

Polish your manuscript to professional publishing standards with my copy editing service. I review and correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, clarity, and consistency in my copy-editing service.

Key Elements Perfected in a Copy Edit:

My copy-editing service includes refining spelling, grammar, punctuation, plot, and character consistency. Plus, I also look at fluid writing and point-of-view integration.

Pricing: £0.02 per word
