Pooky Books has professional eBook editors who remove redundancy, correct inconsistencies, and refine every part of your manuscript that disrupts the reading experience. From developmental and line editing to copy edits and structural refinement, our senior eBook editors identify and correct errors before publication.
A manuscript rarely needs one editor — it needs three sets of eyes, three passes, three kinds of attention. We run them in sequence.
Before we send a contract, your editor reads the first 5,000 words and ships you a free 3-page sample edit. This is how we calibrate — you see exactly what kind of editing we'd do, and we hear what you do and don't want changed.
Your editor reads the full manuscript in one sitting (we pay them for the time it takes, not per page — better work). You receive an editorial memo plus detailed margin comments. One round of revision, included.
Now that the structure is right, we work sentence by sentence. You receive a marked-up draft with tracked changes. We do a 30-minute call to walk through anything you want to push back on.
The fact-check and the consistency pass. Comma, capitalization, citation style, dates — we enforce your house style across the whole manuscript. You receive the style sheet as a separate document for future volumes.
One last read against the formatted manuscript to catch anything the layout introduced. You approve. We hand off to cover and interior design.
The writing grind plus the editing route is what helps good writers produce their best work. Pooky Books offers eBook editing services for indie authors and aspiring writers. Here is the checklist our editors use to strengthen a final manuscript:
For authors who wrote the manuscript themselves and just want a senior editor's pass. Dev + line + copy, all three stages.
A full production engagement. Writing, editing, design, audiobook, and a launch campaign — under one fixed fee. Editing is in there with senior editors assigned to your genre.
For authors planning a series or multi-book strategy. Same editorial team through every volume — consistency across the catalog, shared style sheet, dedicated book strategist.
