Every story deserves a spot between the margins and book shelves.
So, our first step is always to sit down with your manuscript, understand your story's essence, and clarify your publishing goals. No formulas—just thoughtful attention to what your book genuinely needs.
Once we've gotten to know your book, we craft a personalized editing roadmap designed specifically for your manuscript and your budget.
We suggest the editing approach that fits best, whether it's deep developmental edits, fine-tuning lines, or a bit of both, and that makes sense for you.
Editing with us feels less like a process and more like an ongoing conversation at your favorite café. You're involved at every stage, no mysterious edits behind closed doors. Our expert team provides detailed copyediting and proofreading, always keeping your unique voice at the forefront.
Even after we've dotted every 'i' and crossed every 't', we're still here for you. We offer post-editing discussions and book marketing advice to help you feel confident moving forward, along with professional book cover design for self-published authors. Because at Margin Notes, your publishing success matters as much to us as it does to you.
Aanchal is the editor you didn’t know you needed…well, now you know! She’s professional, serious, creative, high attention to detail. The best way I can summarize my experience: it wasn’t about the money. She took care of my project as if it were her own. She is well-versed in many genres, well-read across many books, and just fun to engage with. 10/10.
Editors at Margin Notes are lovely to work with. Quick, thorough, with an excellent sense of what needs fixing to keep readers engaged, and a sharp eye for detail.
Margin Notes’ edits in my novel made the story so much more cohesive and was able to greatly improve my manuscript before getting it published. If you are lucky enough to work with Aanchal, you’ll be in excellent hands and will be able to take a huge weight off your shoulders with her trustworthy and reliable edits.
Edits were a breeze with Aanchal. She provided thoughtful chapter analyses, which really helped me delve deeper into the characters and plot. I highly recommend working with her!
Edited my first book, the developmental edit was insightful and built off of vision. I hear editors will butcher a work and warp it into their own project leaving obvious finger prints. That is bot the case at all. would definitely recommend and I plan on using the services for my following books.
