A Defined Process for Your Book Project

The Story Guardian provides editing and proofreading, cover design, and book formatting services for different types of manuscripts. The work completed depends on the selected service, book format, project scope, and materials provided by the author.

We begin by reviewing the manuscript or project information and confirming the required service. The agreed scope, deliverables, revision allowance, and estimated timeline are outlined before production begins.

During the project, relevant materials are shared for review at the appropriate stage. Author feedback is addressed according to the agreed scope before the edited manuscript, cover, or formatted files are finalized.
