Book Doctor Services

Hands-on revision of novels, narrative nonfiction, and book proposals from professional editors based on clearly identified goals and objectives approved by the author.

Sometimes your manuscript needs more than guidance. Sometimes it needs a skilled partner to roll up their sleeves and work alongside you in executing the necessary changes to help your work become the very best version of itself.

Our book doctoring services offer hands-on revision of novels, narrative nonfiction, and book proposals by professional editors who work closely with you to define clear goals before diving in. Together, we’ll make sure every change honors your vision while strengthening your manuscript.

Perhaps you’ve received feedback from editors, beta readers, or fellow writers. Perhaps you already know what needs to change. But maybe you don’t have the time, distance, or energy to tackle those revisions yourself right now. Many writers reach this crossroads after a critique, and it doesn’t mean you’re any less committed to your book.

Our short whitepaper walks you through what book doctoring actually involves, how it differs from developmental and line editing, and when it might be exactly what your project needs. If you’ve ever wondered whether an editor could step in to handle the heavy lifting while keeping your voice and vision intact, this guide will help you decide if it’s the right path forward.

“A query letter is really a sales letter without the hype.” It should show that you have our market in mind, indicate the kind of color and life you can bring to your subject, and represent your best writing efforts.”
