Writing without revising is the literary equivalent of waltzing gaily out of the house in your underwear. ~ Patricia Fuller
Are you a writer, author, or small publisher in need of an editor?
No matter if you are an established author with twenty books under your belt or an unpublished author, you need an editor. Another set of eyes is not only vital but will save you headaches in the long run. Nothing ruins a book launch like reviewers ripping a book apart for typos and grammatical errors.
This is where we come in. We're freelance editors who have more than twenty editing clients. Our goal is not to make millions of dollars off of struggling authors. We strongly believe that every manuscript deserves top-shelf editing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We keep our prices low and offer payment plans.
We've been in the industry for a combined fifty-seven years. We know how to take a rough manuscript and turn it into a shining jewel readers will want to read. We don't change your writing voice, only offer ways to improve it.
Here are some testimonials from our editing clients...
Testimonials:
Huge shoutout to N. N. Light for proofreading a book I’m helping a group of rebbetzins (Rabbis’ wives) publish. I thought it’d be impossible to find someone who knew Jewish culture, AND Hebrew & Yiddish in English transliteration, AND could turn it around FAST! ~ NYT & USAT bestselling author Shoshanna Gabriel
N.N. Light’s Editorial Services are easy to work with and they do a fantastic job. Self-publishing a book is a stressful process, and working with them made me feel so much better—not only about the quality of my book but about the entire process. I highly recommend them! ~ Author Jennifer Wilck
I am so beyond happy with the copy editing services that N. N. Light provided for my upcoming young adult romance. I particularly loved how the team didn't edit out my voice and conversational tone but focused on changes that would make the narrative more clear and powerful for the reader. Also, I make a fair share of technical grammatical errors—never in my life will I learn to use an apostrophe properly—and am grateful that the team caught all of my mistakes. Would absolutely recommend their services! ~ Award-Winning Bestseller Jennifer Ann Shore

How we operate:
We use track changes in Microsoft Word for all editing services. This allows us to communicate areas of improvement and changes that need to be made.
The normal turnaround time for an edit 30,000 - 80,000 words is four to eight weeks, depending on our workload. If you need it sooner, there is an additional fee.
We invoice via Paypal and need a 50% deposit payment before we start on any editing project. Upon completion of the edit, we require the remainder of the balance owed without delay. We also accept the full amount before we start editing.
Payments for all services on N. N. Light's Book Heaven (author promotions, editing, graphics design, book cover design): we only accept Paypal and once a transaction is completed in Paypal, it is a final sale. There are no refunds and you cannot dispute/ask for a refund via Paypal.
If you would like a sample edit, we provide a complimentary 500-word edit. This complimentary edit only applies to manuscripts over 10,000 words. Please email us for more details.
