Committed to Your Writing Project

Book Editing Services

Book editing services include such things as manuscript review, line editing, proofreading services, grammar checks, and fact checking. Your needs are as specific as your book and I am committed to ensuring your writing project is the best it can be. Call me and we can decide together which book editing services you need.

The Edit A Book Experience

Whether you’re a debut author on the path to publication, or an established writer, we’ll work together to discover what you need.

Once you begin to work with me you’ll get:

Honest, professional, respectful feedback
Solutions for those parts of your writing project that “just aren’t working”—and recognition of the areas where you’ve hit it out of the park
A strategy for making your book—and your career—strong and successful
My commitment to make the editing process time and cost effective
A partner who cares as much about your book as you do

So, What Are The Next Steps?

Email me at info@editabook.com. In your email, tell me a little bit about your writing project (see the Contact page for more info)
I’ll contact you right away and we can set up a time to talk

I’m a firm believer in the value of personal connections. Your editabook experience begins with a conversation—on the phone, in person or on Skype. We’ll have a chance to meet informally to talk about your project and discuss what you need from me as your book editor. We’ll also discuss time frames and costs, and I’ll try to answer all of your questions. There is no charge for this call.

I will provide you with a written summary of the work you want me to do and the timelines needed to make it happen. Like most editors, I am very busy and keeping to the agreed time frames is really important to me. If I say I will deliver something by a certain date you can be guaranteed it will happen.

The work begins.

Everyone Has a Story to Tell, And I’d Love to Help You With Yours. I’l love to hear about your next writing project.

“I’ve been working with Valerie at Editabook.com as my editor for years now, and I simply cannot exaggerate how indebted I am to her for her amazing skill and talent. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to every project, and her insights and suggestions always improve my manuscripts immensely. She is an invaluable and integral part of my writing process, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.”

--Jasinda Wilder—New York Times, USATODAY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, Amazon.com, and international bestselling author of more than 90 books.

“Valerie Gray took my broken manuscript and helped me stitch it back together into a book that was quickly acquired, a book that sold beautifully and, most important, a book that I absolutely love. Valerie is a total class act. She is a joy to work with, she knows both the craft and the business of writing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

--Kimberly Stuart,author of Sugar: A Novel

“Valerie Gray is a joy to work with! Her keen insight brought into focus the problems in my manuscript that I knew were there, but could not see. Better yet, she provided concrete suggestions on how to solve them, identifying ways to strengthen the story, all while respecting my own unique vision and voice. She also calmed my panic during a very stressful time and reminded me that I can do this!”

--Roxanne Snopek,USA TODAY bestselling author

“Valerie and I have worked together on seven books, and in that time she has proven herself to be a gifted, generous, and immensely talented editor. With her elegant style and attention to detail, she is adept at guiding a book from the merest wisp of an idea to a fully realized and beautifully complete novel. I am a better writer for knowing her.”

—Deanna Raybourn,New York Times bestselling author
