Welcome to Seattle Editing: A Complete Editing Service

Welcome to Seattle Editing! We help writers at every step of the writing process. Our services include coaching, manuscript assessment, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. See detailed descriptions of these services and rates here.

Over the years we’ve edited everything from letters and reports to book-length manuscripts. We particularly enjoy editing middle-grade fiction, young adult and new adult fiction, memoir, and fantasy/sci-fi. We’re also open to editing nonfiction and about any fiction genre, including romance and horror. 

What are your editing needs? Are you looking for a writing coach to help you write your first draft? Do you need an editor to read and carefully assess your manuscript? A manuscript assessment thoroughly examines key aspects, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and includes a detailed revision plan. If you are writing a book, beginning the editing process with a manuscript assessment makes good sense.

Once you have revised your first draft and received sufficient feedback, you’ll be ready for copyediting or line editing to fine-tune your manuscript.  After your manuscript has been carefully edited, it will be ready for proofreading.
