Creation’s Book Editorial Work

"When I first started Creation Magazine in 2022, my goal was to build a platform where writers could share their work with pride—a home for their voices. Now, we’re expanding that mission by offering book editorial services.

We want to provide a reputable, trustworthy space where writers can refine their stories, elevate their craft, and move closer to achieving their dreams. I’m dedicated to shaping great literature, and we’re excited to help bring more books into the world. At the end of the day, I just love good stories and the people who tell them.”

— Alexandra Francese, Editor in Chief of Creation Magazine

“My passion for editorial work stems from a love of helping creatives refine their craft. The process of maximizing the potential of a given work, accenting the author’s voice, and fine-tuning the structure is a source of joy for me and something I strive for perfection in.

At Creation, we pride ourselves on being an open and accessible space for established and indie authors alike, where our editors care for the authors and works we publish. For myself and the Creation team, it is a privilege to work with beautiful art and stories and to be the platform that showcases them to the world.”

— Ivelina Kirilova, Managing Editor in Creation Magazine

Copy Editing

Copy editing polishes your manuscript at the technical level, correcting grammar, punctuation, and syntax while maintaining your writing style. Copy editing helps ensure your manuscript is polished, professional, and publication-ready. This type of editing involves:

  • Correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.

  • Ensuring consistency in formatting, tense, and style.

  • Checking for clarity and readability.

  • Catching redundancies and unnecessary repetition.

  • Fact-checking minor details for accuracy.

Line Editing

Line editing refines the flow and style of your writing, ensuring clarity, consistency, and engagement while preserving your unique voice. This level of editing focuses on the artistry of language, making sure every sentence contributes to a compelling, immersive reading experience. This type of editing involves:

  • Strengthening sentence structure for better readability.

  • Enhancing word choice and eliminating awkward phrasing.

  • Ensuring consistency in tone, style, and pacing.

  • Refining dialogue for authenticity and impact.

  • Clarifying meaning and improving transitions between ideas.

Developmental Editing

Developmental editing focuses on the big-picture elements of your book, helping you refine story structure, character development, pacing, themes, and conflict. This type of editing involves:

  • Assessing whether the narrative structure is coherent and engaging.

  • Evaluating character arcs and relationships.

  • Identifying plot inconsistencies or pacing issues.

  • Suggesting ways to deepen themes and improve storytelling elements.

  • Recommending structural changes that strengthen the manuscript overall. This is the most intensive level of editing and might involve multiple rounds of feedback.

Pricing: We're just beginning to expand into the editing side of things, and we're excited to work with writers in a way that feels collaborative, flexible, and grounded in care.
