Editing

Here at Dead Key Publishing, we have in-house editors who have more than 30 years' experience in editing, including editing for magazines and large publishing houses. From substantive edits—which covers storyline, plot holes, character development and the like—to copy editing—making sure the grammar and spelling are correct—to proofreading, our editors will ensure that your manuscript is the best it can be.

If we think your submission is good enough to become a Dead Key Publishing ebook, we will offer you a publishing contract. Once you have agreed to the terms and returned the signed contract to us, then we will provide editing at no charge to you. This is generally no more than copy editing, although if we think substantive edits are needed, we will make suggestions and either ask you to make them or make them for you (with you having final approval, of course).

If you would like to secure our editing services without publishing with us, we charge $1 per double-spaced page. Contact Cher Smith with details.
