Sometimes what a manuscript needs most is a clear, honest read from someone who knows the industry. Our editorial services are available on their own — whether you're polishing a draft, sharpening an opening, preparing to query agents, or developing a full manuscript. Each one connects you with an experienced editor and gives you concrete, actionable feedback to move your work forward, wherever you decide to take it.
-
We review your query letter and the first 10 pages of your manuscript and provide a concise editorial report with feedback on strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. You’ll receive a clear roadmap for revision and the option to ask follow-up questions by email.
-
Your query is your calling card. We refine your pitch with line edits and positioning notes to ensure your project captures attention immediately.
-
The first 30 pages are critical. We provide a written editorial letter (3–5 pages) with detailed feedback on voice, pacing, character development, and narrative tension, ensuring your manuscript begins with strength.
-
A comprehensive review of your nonfiction proposal, including comps, platform, chapter outline, and sample material. Includes a one-hour strategy call to discuss positioning and next steps.
-
We connect you with experienced editors for developmental edits, line edits, or copyedits, depending on your manuscript’s needs. Rates follow industry standards set by the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). Each project is quoted individually.
-
For authors ready to move beyond editing and into the world. Park Avenue Press manages every step of the publishing process — editorial development, cover design, interior layout, ISBN registration, and worldwide distribution through IngramSpark and Amazon — so you publish a professional book without navigating the industry alone.
You retain full ownership of your manuscript, your copyright, and your intellectual property. Your book is published under your name, distributed to bookstores and libraries worldwide, and available wherever books are sold.
Packages start at $6,000 and are scoped to your manuscript's editorial needs. Every project includes professional cover and interior design, print and ebook formatting, and full distribution setup.
