Editing Services
Optional services are available for creators who want additional, hands-on support at specific stages of the publishing process. These services are never required and are offered to complement the educational resources and community support available through 9 Iron Media.
1
Story Treatment
A story treatment is a concise overview of a project that outlines the core idea, structure, themes, and direction of the work. It helps clarify intent and provides a shared reference point before drafting or revising begins. A story treatment and first chapter review are provided as a free benefit for community members.
2
General Editing
General editing provides broad, high-level feedback on clarity, structure, pacing, and consistency. It focuses on strengthening the overall manuscript while preserving the author’s voice and intent.
3
Line Editing
Line editing focuses on sentence-level clarity, consistency, and flow. It refines language and improves readability while preserving the author’s voice, tone, and intent. This is generally the final step before formatting for publishing.
General vs Line Editing
General Editing looks at the manuscript as a whole—focusing on structure, clarity, pacing, and consistency across chapters.
Line Editing focuses on how the writing reads—refining sentences and paragraphs to improve flow, clarity, and tone while preserving structure.
*Editing rates vary based on manuscript length, condition, and the level of feedback requested. Pricing is discussed only after reviewing the scope of a project.
