Beta Reading
A beta read is an affordable manuscript review in which the editor provides basic feedback and a brief developmental edit with comments on plot, characters, and conflicts.
Welcome to
Rookwood Editing.
Let’s work together to enhance your authorial vision and make your writing shine.
Developmental Editing
Also known as content editing or substantive editing, this is where the editor works with the author to strengthen a story’s plot, character, conflict, and more.
Stylistic Editing
While substantive editing reworks chapters, the arc of the story, and characters, stylistic editing works on the paragraph level to smooth sentences and help your words shine.
Copyediting
Whereas stylistic editing ensures that writing flows smoothly from one sentence to another, copyediting looks at each sentence individually to correct spelling and grammar.
Jewish Sensitivity Reading
If you are not Jewish and your book has Jewish characters, or if you think your book might include Jewish stereotypes or tropes, a sensitivity (or authenticity) read is the best way to ensure that your book is not accidentally doing harm.
