Professional Services for Authors 
Whether you’re working on your first book or your hundredth, your manuscript will benefit from professional assistance.
Editing
Every manuscript needs editing. Professional editing makes it better.
What is editing?
Editing is more than correcting typos and grammar errors, although editing includes that, too. Proper editing refines the author’s distinctive voice without overwriting it.
Who needs editing?
Every writer needs an editor. Authors are too close to their work to see its flaws. An editor is objective, sees the flaws, and helps the writer correct them.
How much does editing cost?
The cost of editing depends on various factors, particularly quality of writing and word count. A clean, well-written document costs less to edit. At Hen House Publishing, standard editing rates align with EFA recommendations.
