💡 What Is Structural & Substantive Editing?

Think of this as renovating a house, not just repainting the walls. This type of editing focuses on the big picture: structure, pacing, clarity, tone, organization, and the internal logic of your work.

We reorganize and refine your manuscript line-by-line and section-by-section to strengthen your message, smooth transitions, and eliminate anything that distracts from the heart of your story.
