Editing & Proofreading Services That Respect Your Voice

Editing and proofreading are more than technical fixes. They’re a careful craft—done best when your original tone, flow, and message stay intact. At Synsto, we approach each manuscript with respect for the author’s intention, while refining the language to meet publishing standards.

We understand that after countless hours of writing, what you need is clarity—not confusion. That’s why our editing and proofreading process is designed to offer a seamless and stress-free experience, where every sentence becomes sharper, and every chapter more engaging. Whether it’s a novel, memoir, thesis, or training manual, our editorial touch is precise, unobtrusive, and purposeful.

Editing That Brings Structure, Consistency, and Confidence

When you’re deep in the writing process, it’s easy to miss subtle issues—like sentence repetitions, inconsistent tenses, or formatting irregularities. Our editors work with a trained eye to strengthen your writing at every level. The goal is to maintain your authentic voice, while ensuring your work stands up to the scrutiny of publishers, reviewers, or a global audience.

We look at the manuscript not just as a document, but as a complete experience for the reader. Editing involves improving the rhythm of your paragraphs, eliminating redundancies, and creating logical transitions between ideas. It might include adjusting tone for consistency, trimming bloated sentences, and checking for factual or stylistic clarity, all depending on the genre and purpose of your work.

Types of Editing We Offer

• Copyediting: Enhances readability by correcting grammar, sentence structure, and word usage while preserving your tone.
• Line Editing: Polishes language and rhythm, improves sentence flow, and makes stylistic improvements for stronger impact.
• Stylistic Editing: Ensures narrative consistency, emotional tone, and vocabulary alignment with your intended audience.

Each type of edit is applied based on the manuscript’s current state. We never over-edit or rewrite your voice—we simply make the version you’ve already written better, tighter, and clearer.

Proofreading That Fixes the Final Layer of Errors

Once your manuscript is structurally sound, the next step is a thorough proofread. Here, we focus on fine details: punctuation, spelling, capitalization, hyphenation, quotation marks, and typographic precision. Even small errors can affect how professionally your book is perceived, especially in today’s competitive publishing world.

Proofreading is often overlooked, but it’s the last quality control before your work enters the world. Our team works line-by-line to remove distractions and ensure the final version reflects nothing but your best writing. This service is perfect for final drafts ready for print, digital publication, submission, or distribution.

Working With Your Format and Genre

Our editing and proofreading services are not one-size-fits-all. A poetry collection has a different rhythm than an academic paper; a memoir needs emotional continuity, while a training manual demands absolute clarity. We tailor our editorial approach to your content type.

We work with:

• Fiction: contemporary, literary, sci-fi, fantasy, historical
• Nonfiction: memoirs, biographies, how-to guides, essays
• Academic: dissertations, research articles, white papers
• Business: training manuals, reports, proposals, corporate communications
• Poetry and hybrid forms

You don’t need to explain your structure to us—we adapt to it. Our editors are experienced with APA, MLA, Chicago, and other style guides, but we also handle informal, creative, and self-publishing standards. We edit directly in Word with tracked changes, or in Google Docs—whichever suits your process.

The Editorial Process, Simplified

The best editing process is one you don’t have to manage. Here’s how it works:

1. Submit your manuscript: Send your draft in Word, PDF, or Google Docs.
2. Receive a personalized plan: We assess your manuscript and propose the editing level it needs.
3. Editing begins: We return two versions—one with tracked changes and one clean copy.
4. Finalization: You review edits and request optional refinements if needed.

Smaller projects are typically completed in 2–5 business days, while full-length manuscripts may take 7–14 days. We also offer express options when needed.

Beyond Grammar: Crafting Readable, Publish-Ready Prose

Too many editing services focus only on surface-level errors. We go deeper—not by rewriting your work, but by making it structurally stronger, emotionally clearer, and more aligned with your goals. A misplaced clause or weak transition can cost a reader’s trust. We fix those without breaking your voice.

Our editing helps your manuscript move forward—uninterrupted, unburdened, and professionally refined. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just clean, confident writing.

Clarity, Precision, and Publishing Confidence

Publishing isn’t just about being creative—it’s also about being clear. A well-edited manuscript not only respects your readers’ time, but elevates your ideas to their best possible form. Whether you're preparing a self-published book, submitting to a journal, or sending your proposal to an agent, the quality of your editing speaks volumes. We’re here to make sure that message comes through—loud, clear, and error-free.
