If it's nonfiction, we can edit it.
What We Do
At Lane Editorial, we copyedit and proofread nonfiction trade, educational, professional, or academic projects of all lengths and many types: book manuscripts, sample chapters, dissertations, journal articles, supplemental K-6 educational materials, website text, catalog copy, and so on.
Our clients benefit from our long history of successful in-house and freelance publishing experience, as well as our deep professional understanding of the academic world itself. Many of our clients use us for all their editing needs, spanning many years and projects; they value not only our editorial chops and attention to detail, but our willingness to share helpful observations, ask insightful questions, and conscientiously maintain every author's unique voice.
How We Do It
From short-term projects to larger or more complex assignments, we welcome the opportunity to help you create products that are editorially accurate and effective in communicating your expertise.
When you're ready to get started, shoot us an email to begin the discussion. We look forward to working with you!

How We Do It
- We complete all editing online, generally in Microsoft Word, using the Track Changes function for editing and margin notes for queries between editor and author.
- Most projects are edited to follow CMS, APA, or AMA style guides, but we can work comfortably in used most other styles, as well. Every project is edited according to the publisher's requirements and style guidelines, even if those guidelines are unique to that publisher.
- We charge an hourly rate or (less frequently) a flat fee for the entire project, depending on variety of factors; we are happy to discuss the specifics of your project when you're ready.
