Here at Plotwise, we accept fiction (adult and YA), nonfiction, and academic manuscripts for editing.
While we accept most genres, we specialize in fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, romance, gothic fiction, horror, thriller, and literary fiction. For nonfiction, we specialize in memoir and self-help manuscripts.
We do not accept educational textbooks, developmental editing of dissertations, satire, graphic novels, religious books requiring specialized citation styles, or children’s books for ages 0–12. If you're unsure whether your book falls into one of these categories, please don't hesitate to reach out using the contact form.
