Book Editing & Publishing Services for Writers
At Cherry Editorial, we help writers take their manuscripts from first draft to finished book. Whether you’re polishing your prose, preparing for self-publishing, or submitting to agents, our services are designed to support emerging and first-time authors at every stage.
Services
Copyediting ensures your prose is polished and professional. We refine grammar, sentence structure, and style while keeping your voice intact, preparing your manuscript for the next stage of publishing.
Your book cover makes the first impression. We create professional, genre-appropriate designs that reflect your story and attract readers.
Developmental editing takes a comprehensive look at story arc, pacing, characters, and flow. Ideal for emerging authors, this service helps transform a rough draft into a compelling, cohesive manuscript.
Get expert insight into your manuscript before editing begins—highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities across story structure, pacing, and character development—so you know exactly where to focus next.
We format your manuscript for platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and IngramSpark, ensuring proper fonts, spacing, and design elements for an enjoyable reading experience.
Proofreading catches lingering errors in grammar, punctuation, and formatting to guarantee a clean, professional manuscript that’s ready for readers.
From ISBNs and metadata to file uploads and categories, we simplify the self-publishing process so you can focus on your writing while we handle the details.
