Editorial

Add life to your writing, refine your manuscript.

Professional editing and copy preparation helps authors connect with their audiences. Ikon's editors will lend their skill and perspective to help you shape content, refine structure and polish your writing. 

Copyediting (Detailed line edits and fact-checking)
An editor will make exacting line edits that will give a professional finish to your work. This will involve grammar, style, spelling, consistency and fact-checking.

Proofreading (Verification of edits, proof before printing)
After copyediting, a proofreader will examine your finished, designed manuscript for copy and layout errors.

Basic substantive editing (Big-picture reading and consultation)
An Ikon editor will read your manuscript thoroughly and offer big-picture suggestions for improvement. This may involve recommendations to expand and reorganize concepts or change the focus of a work.
     You may wish to work more closely with an Ikon editor and require a multi-stage editing process. If so, see the details of our full substantive edit below.
