Structural Editing, Line Editing, and Copy Editing Services

Book Editing Services Built Around Your Draft
Every manuscript arrives at a different stage. Some books need stronger foundations, while others need close sentence work. We assess the draft first, explain the recommended level, and keep the process clear. You see suggested changes and remain in control throughout.
The Right Editing Level
We review your manuscript before recommending structural, line, or copy editing support.
Your Voice Comes First
Your humour, emotion, tone, and personal style remain present throughout every editing stage.
Every Change Stays Visible
Tracked edits and comments show what changed, where it changed, and why it may help.
Clear, Encouraging Feedback
Editor’s notes offer practical direction without harsh language, vague criticism, or unnecessary rewriting.
Your Manuscript Deserves Care, Not Criticism
Editing should help you understand your book more clearly. It should never make you feel pushed away from your own work. We offer calm, steady support while strengthening structure, flow, and language.
Your manuscript remains completely yours. You keep 100% royalties + full rights, while every final change needs your approval.
Our Proven Book Editing Process

Free Manuscript Assessment

Your Review of Every Change
You receive tracked edits, comments, and clear notes. You can accept, reject, question, or discuss any suggested change.
Final Polished Manuscript
After your review, we complete the agreed final checks. You receive a cleaner manuscript ready for proofreading, formatting, or publication.

Melody LeMond
My experience with publishing, prior to stumbling across Jordan Chase, the Project Manager & Publishing Strategist allotted to me at Australian Publishing Press, was pretty dismal, to the extent that I'd become reticent to even write again for some years. But this whole process has proved to be consistently rewarding. Full of learning curves for myself, yet rewarding. I'm pleased with Jordan's handling of my literary contribution, his encouraging responses to my queries, his patience and consistency generally. As I meniotned in the acknowledgements section of my current book, I thank him for his guidance during the sometimes gruelling editing process, as well as for his co-creation of my book's cover design. Gratias, Jordan.

They helped turn my manuscript into an actual book! I had written my book but had no idea what came next. Australian Publishing Press helped me with the editing, proofreading, cover and publishing side of things, which made the whole process much less overwhelming. Jazz was incredibly helpful and patient whenever I had questions. I'm really happy with how the finished book came together.
Martin Stern
Working with Australian Publishing Press to publish Fragments of Harry was a positive experience overall, resulting in a physical book I am incredibly proud of. The publishing process itself was solid, and a massive shoutout must go to my representative, Jazz. Jazz was incredibly understanding, and we were constantly on the same wavelength when it came to the vision for the project. However, the broader communication from the company needs improvement to make the author experience smoother. Despite that, it was a good journey with a fantastic final product, largely thanks to Jazz's dedicated support.
Cathy Reynolds
As a new author, deciding to work with Australian Publishing Press was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail from the team exceeded my expectations. Throughout the production process, Jazz Jeffrey was a true partner—explaining each step clearly and offering invaluable feedback that elevated my manuscript. They didn’t just help me publish a book; they turned my vision into a reality. I hope I'm lucky enough to have Jazz Jeffrey and his team involved in my future projects. Thank you to the whole team at Australia Publishing Press for making this experience so seamless and rewarding.
