Editing

Apart from the 88 short stories that I’ve edited for the Big Book of Yes series, I've also worked with tons of individual authors to help them bring their books to the world. Here are some quotes from some of my clients.

‘Now I've had time to go through your comments, I can't thank you enough for your work. I've already started adding a tonne more description and I can feel the book transforming already from a list of events to a piece of work I will be proud of. There is absolutely no way I'd be on this path of renewed enthusiasm, clear direction and understanding of the project without you.’ Jon Lakin

‘Wow! That's epic work buddy. Thank you!’ Scott Butler - Reprisal (novel)

I’d love to edit your adventure book too!

I can offer the following services:

• Content or Structural Edit - This means that I will be editing the whole book, looking at story, theme, voice and writing style. I will be making sure the book makes sense, tells a compelling story and is well-written.

• Copy Edit - This is a comprehensive edit of every single sentence to make sure that grammar and punctuation are spot on and that every sentence makes sense.

My standard fees are £1 per 100 words.

If you’re on the fence about whether an editor is worth the money, try emailing your first chapter to jon@jondoolan.com and I’ll give you a little taste of what a professional edit can do to your writing.
