OUR EDITING SERVICES
OUR GOAL IS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR WRITING, NOT OVERWRITE IT.
Every story deserves the right kind of care, and not every manuscript needs the same level of editing. At FlirtyFics Edits, we specialize in romance-driven fiction and offer tailored editorial support designed to elevate your writing without stripping away your voice. Spelling and style conventions can be adapted to US or UK English, depending on your preference. All edits are completed using Track Changes so you can accept or reject every suggestion. Nothing is final unless you want it to be. Every service will be returned with editorial notes and a personalized style sheet. We aim to be thorough, thoughtful, and respectful in every edit.

This is where your manuscript gets its glow-up! We're fixing inconsistencies, tackling spelling, grammar, punctuation, and fact-checking, to establish clarity within your work. Copy editing focuses on how your writing holds together on the page, offering careful support to language and structure, while letting your voice stay fully intact. If something reads awkwardly or feels unclear, we'll smooth out your writing and tighten your sentences, so your writing flows naturally. Rather than reshaping your style, this edit considers the manuscript as a whole, with attention to cohesion across chapters. We'll offer guidance to strengthen readability and balance. The aim is to help the writing feel controlled, confident, and polished from beginning to end.
Copy editing is ideal if:
-
Your plot and structure feel solid
-
You want smoother pacing and clearer sentences
-
You are ready to level up the professionalism of your writing
This is the edit that makes readers forget they are reading words on a page and simply fall in.

LINE EDITING
$0.013 /
£0.011 PER WORD
A thorough edit of your manuscript, ensuring every line sparkles and has earned its place on the page. We'll refine your ideas, keeping in line with your style and voice, to smooth out awkward phrasing, trim repetition, and sharpen word choices. We'll vary your sentence structure, ridding of those pesky inconsistencies, typos or pacing errors, so your words have optimal emotional impact. Line editing is a thorough sentence-level check of intentional word use, so every line resonates and sounds more immersive. The goal is not to impose a new style, but to refine and strengthen what's present on the page. This service is best approached when the content and structure is settled and you're ready to smooth and sharpen the prose itself.
Line editing is best if:
-
You want your manuscript to feel polished and powerful
-
Voice, tone, and emotional impact matter deeply to you
-
You are ready for a high-touch, stylistic edit
If you want readers to underline sentences, reread paragraphs, and feel every moment, this is the edit for you.
PROOFREADING
$0.0085 /
£0.0065 PER WORD
The essential and final polish before your book meets readers, catching the tiny details that try to stay hidden, and ensuring your work reads confidently without distraction. The focus is on overall surface-level accuracy and presentation rather than rewriting or stylistic changes. We will read your work thoroughly, checking for consistency, and picking up any typos and grammatical errors. It is a careful, detail-focused pass designed to support a clean and professional final version, intended for manuscripts that are already complete and stable.
Proofreading is perfect if:
-
Your manuscript has already been edited
-
You are preparing for self-publication or ARC distribution
-
You want a clean, professional finish with zero distractions
Think of it as the final mirror check before stepping out the door.
