Or Check Out The Editing Packages

Editing Packages

Editing packages are popular choices for authors working with BookMarks who want multiple options. And you can get a discount by selecting a package rather than each item individually. Here are the three options:

  • The Bookmark Refresh: Line editing + copyediting (two full passes)  
  • The Bookmark Revise: Manuscript critique + line editing + copyediting (three passes)  
  • The Bookmark Rebuild: Developmental editing + line editing + copyediting (four passes)


Every package follows a clear, predictable process that starts the moment you reach out and secure your spot. Here’s exactly what to expect with each one.

The Bookmark Refresh: Line Editing + Copyediting

Step 1: Get in touch

Step 3: Line editing pass

Step 1: Get in touch

Contact me to discuss your project and confirm the best fit. Once we agree, we’ll lock in your dates for the line edit and copyedit.

The Bookmark Revise: Manuscript Critique + Line Editing + Copyediting

  • Step 1: Get in touch

We discuss your needs and schedule the critique, revision window, line edit, and copyedit.


  • Step 2: Final prep

Keep refining your manuscript. You’ll get a reminder two weeks before the critique begins.


  • Step 3: Manuscript critique

I read your full manuscript, add detailed inline comments, and deliver a comprehensive report (typically 15+ pages) that highlights strengths and pinpoints areas for improvement.


  • Step 4: Revision window

You receive the manuscript and report back. You have 2–3 weeks (or more if needed) to implement the changes you like. Return the revised version before the line editing start date.


  • Step 5: Line editing pass

(See description in The Bookmark Refresh.)


  • Step 6: Copyediting pass

(See description in The Bookmark Refresh.)


  • Step 7: Publication-ready

I return the final manuscript with the Editor’s Report and book blurb. Your book is now ready to go.

The Bookmark Rebuild: Developmental Editing + Line Editing +

Step 1: Get in touch

We discuss your needs and schedule the critique, revision window, line edit, and copyedit.

Step 2: Final prep

Polish as much as you like before the start date. Reminder sent two weeks prior.

Step 3: Developmental editing pass

This is a deep, two-part process. First, I analyze the full manuscript for big-picture issues (character arcs, plot structure, pacing, tension, market fit, etc.). Then we actively revise the text—adding, cutting, and reshaping scenes and content—to bring the story up to professional standards while protecting your unique voice.

Step 4: Review period

You receive the developmentally edited manuscript. Take time to review every change, accepting, rejecting, or modifying as you prefer. I typically schedule two weeks for this (extensions are easy to arrange). Return the manuscript before line editing begins.

Step 5: Line editing pass

(See description in The Bookmark Refresh.)

Step 6: Copyediting pass

(See description in The Bookmark Refresh.)

Step 7: Publication-ready

BookMarks delivers the final manuscript, Editor’s Report, and book blurb. Your book is now fully prepared for publication.

These packages are designed to be flexible and stress-free. Questions about edits, rush options, or scheduling? Feel free to reach out — BookMarks is happy to help!
