Have a Finished Manuscript?
Some prospective authors come to us with a finished manuscript they’ve been sitting on for months or even years. If you don’t know the next step to take with it, that’s what Streamline is here for . . .
We want to get YOUR BOOK over the finish line. Our Copy Edit offering is similar in scope to our Developmental Edit offering, but you will simply work with a Copy Editor to refine and polish your finished manuscript before we enact the other elements of our Turnkey Publishing process!
