Editing
Prose Refinement & Narrative Flow
A great thriller lives or dies by its pacing. Our Line Editing service goes beyond simple grammar checks to focus on the ‘musicality’ of your writing. We refine your sentence structure, sharpen your dialogue, and eliminate the ‘noise’ that slows down your story. Under the guidance of Jonas Saul, your prose is polished until every word serves the tension.
Our editors will focus on awkward phrasing, word echoes—repetition and redundancies—passive voice, passive verb phrases, telling vs. showing, and dialogue. We will tighten prose, clean up any word clutter that we may find, and make sure the manuscript shines.
When you receive your edited manuscript back with all the issues our editors discovered done in track changes, along with suggestions on how to fix them, you will also get an editorial letter that explains the changes in detail. We don’t change your story; we amplify your unique authorial voice
Email us ten pages in a Word doc, double-spaced, for an obligation-free editorial interview. Our editors will revise those ten pages and send them back to you at no charge. If you like what you see and want to work with Imagine Press, we will assess a fair quote and go from there.
All manuscripts are edited to New York publishing standards as per the Chicago Manual of Style in American English. British English or Canadian English is available upon request.

testimonials
“I’ve written over forty novels and worked with countless editors, but working with Jonas showed me things I not only didn’t know but hadn’t even thought about before.”
USA Today bestselling author, Russell Nohelty
I taught English for the better part of two decades, so I felt confident in my manuscript. However, I wanted to be sure, so I sent it to Jonas Saul. Not only did he find everything I missed, but he also offered phenomenal suggestions on how to tighten the novel without altering the tone or voice. I was also pleasantly surprised by how easy he was to work with. I can’t imagine publishing in the future without sending the manuscript to Jonas first. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

BWL Publishing Inc. had the good fortune to have Jonas Saul provide some editing advice for one of our manuscripts this year, and we were so impressed with the quality of his editing. Not only did Mr. Saul provide us with valuable suggestions for improving the manuscript, but he spent considerable time reviewing each paragraph, relating it to the novel as a whole, and suggesting ways in which the edits could be used to move the story forward, strengthen the plot, and emphasize the importance of each character’s role within the story. Mr. Saul does an extremely thorough job of editing, and it will be our pleasure to use his services again in the future.
Jonas Saul is a developmental editor, copy editor,
and proofreader all rolled into one. His ability to take in the story and tease
out what is missing while simultaneously picking up on the minor grammatical
errors never ceases to amaze. If this was not enough, Jonas executes his
editing with grace and compassion for the author – respecting the hard work to
develop the property. I would recommend Jonas to aspiring and established
authors alike

Ι hired Jonas to work with me for pacing and tension on my upcoming novel, HYDE and SEEK, and I’m thrilled with the results. His ability to look at the story at both the micro and macro levels and figure out what will take it to the next level is amazing. I’m thrilled with the product we created. His enthusiasm for writing and stories, and his passion for other writers to succeed in a cutthroat market, is inspiring. I would recommend Jonas to any author at any stage of their career.
Stacy Green
Βestselling author of the Lucy Kendall series and KILLING JANE, which is optioned for television.
Jonas Saul is a fabulous editor. Apart from pointing out faulty grammar and punctuation, his feedback showed me the weak spots in the story and how to fix them. Two reader reviews on Amazon went so far as to mention the professional editing of my novel after it was released. I had attended one of Jonas’s workshops at a writer’s conference, and it was his passion for creative writing that made me want to work with him.
Thank you, Jonas. I look forward to many more projects with you.

Best-selling author Jonas Saul, my editor, provider of thoughtful feedback, and a steady source of encouragement, education, and camaraderie. Editors are like surgeons: they wield razor-sharp scalpels in order to heal. Thanks, Jonas, for your surgical skill.

As with other relationships in life, finding “your person” in an editor feels like a tremendous victory. I’m so grateful to have found that in Jonas Saul. (It doesn’t hurt that he’s also one of my favorite authors!) Not only is Jonas a highly proficient editor and a true professional, but you’ll find him to be a champion to his authors as well as a tremendous teacher. He’s taught me more about writing novels than any class I could have taken. Choosing Jonas to edit my first novel was the start of what has become a valued partnership.
