We also work with poets to create chapbooks (mini poetry books on one topic), full-length works, and anthologies. Submit a proposal today.


We are a small publishing house. If we reach out to you, it will be from an email ending with @kestersonstudios.com or through our official social media account on Instagram™ @alchemicalfruit.

Edits


Prepare your short story, manuscript, or article for publication.


Starting with Developmental Edits, I provide feedback on pacing, structure, clarity, characterization, and plot (as applicable). I also make basic edits for readability. If you choose, I will meet with you to discuss this feedback once finished.


Next is Copy Editing (also known as Line Editing). I make suggestions for consistency, voice, and continued clarity. I also do basic fact-checking at this stage.


The final stage is Proofreading. These are final grammatical edits on an already cohesive text.


Proofreader's Marks is from figure 2.6 of the 18th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style.
