Proofreading
Proofreading means carefully checking for errors in a text before it is published or shared. It is the very last stage of the writing process, when you fix minor spelling and punctuation mistakes, typos, formatting issues and inconsistencies.
Copy Editing
This is the most basic form of editing. This will require us to check if there are any grammatical or punctuation mistakes in your text. The only difference between copy editing and proofreading is: Copy editor points out what the author missed. Proofreader points out what the copy editor missed.
Comprehensive Editing
One of the most important forms of editing, this is the need of the hour to make a book look extraordinary. In comprehensive editing, our editors will sit with you and discuss the content in detail. The editing process will then begin on both, contextual and structural ends. This is a rigorous form of editing, and the author is always in touch with the editor for regular changes made.

Cover Design
What makes a cover good
Cover is the first thing readers set their eyes upon, when they are in search of a new book. A well-put cover can change the entire aspect of the book, and give it a whole new course. A good cover essentially transmits the story into a single page through art.
How to look for ideas
Once the author is done with writing the book, and the editor has finished working on it, the cover designing process begins. There are several ideas that can be garnered from the internet, some vague images from the mind put into paper, that can then be turned into reality by a well-educated cover designer that knows their job.
How much time does it take
Designing a cover is an intricate process, and can take anywhere from a week to 4 weeks.
What not to do while designing the cover
One should never rush into it. The worst thing one can do is design a cover that misguides the readers about what the book is essentially about. Because a cover brings hope, expectations, and a challenge to rise up to it.|

Internal Design
What is typeset
Typesetting is the way that text is composed using individual types — the symbols, letters, and glyphs in digital systems. It’s a crucial part of the world of design that requires an understanding of fonts, corresponding font sizes, and line spacing.
How a good typeset makes the difference
Good typesetting and typography is invisible — it allows readers to enjoy the font without interruption. Bad typesetting draws attention to itself and distracts a reader. It’s like driving down a road. If it’s well paved, nobody notices and everyone enjoys the ride. But if the road is pocked with potholes, it can’t be ignored.

There is so much effort that goes into writing a book, that it becomes tiresome once you are finished with the entire process. Usually, we get so immersed in the writing and research process that we leave very little space for any other thoughts to cross our mind, even when they might be necessary for the very book that we have been writing for so long. This is where marketing comes in. In today’s world, marketing your book has to be your number one priority.
