Don’t let writing mistakes make you lose your unique voice in the novel you’re creating.The Rapiin editing principle
Thoughtful by design
Human judgment. Helpful tools. Your story.
We use digital tools to support consistency checks and reduce repetitive work. Your manuscript is reviewed by a human editor, who makes and explains editorial suggestions. We don’t promise that software can understand every nuance of a novel.
01 You decide which suggested edits to accept.
02 Your voice and creative intent guide the work.
03 We explain how your files are handled before upload.
Good questions
A few things writers ask.
Not sure which service fits? Tell us where your draft is and we’ll help you find a starting point.
Will you rewrite my novel?
No. Editing is collaborative. We suggest changes to improve clarity, consistency, and readability, while respecting your voice and intent. You decide what to accept.
Do you use AI to edit manuscripts?
Editors may use digital tools to support specific checks. A human editor reviews the work and is responsible for the editorial feedback. We’ll explain the tools and file-handling policy before you submit a manuscript.
How much does editing cost?
Pricing depends on word count, service, and turnaround. We’ll send a clear quote and timeline for your approval before booking begins.
Can I send my manuscript to a publisher afterward?
Our editing can help prepare your manuscript, but it does not guarantee acceptance or publication. We’ll agree on the scope of your edit before starting.
How do you protect my manuscript?
Before accepting files, we’ll provide a clear policy covering access, storage, deletion, and any third-party tools used. Please don’t upload sensitive or unpublished material until you’ve reviewed that policy.
