Our A la Carte Services
At Amor Libri, we do not operate as a volume-based service.
We reserve intentional space within our editorial calendar to ensure each manuscript and marketing plan receives the care it deserves. Exceptional books require space - for thought, for refinement, for strategy. Our partnerships are designed to provide dedicated capacity and intentional specialization for authors and publishers who value craftsmanship, continuity, and thoughtful execution. We take great pride in being an agency that values quality over quantity, dedication to details, and only human work.
We do not use AI in our editing or marketing.
Each of our partnerships begin with human connection because we want to ensure that we are the best fit for your needs so that you can succeed in this business.

Editorial Services
At Amor Libri, editing is more than correction — it is careful refinement of stories that will stick with readers for years to come. Each manuscript carries its own theme, voice, and intention, and our role is to help the publication-ready copy emerge with clarity and confidence. Through layered editorial stages performed by different team members, your story's refinement moves from big-picture storytelling to sentence-level polish, ensuring your final work is both structurally sound and beautifully expressed.
Every editorial project is scheduled intentionally within our calendar so your manuscript receives the thoughtful attention and high-quality editing it deserves.
Developmental
Developmental editing explores the heart of a manuscript: its structure, pacing, character development, narrative tension, and themes. At this stage, we examine how the story unfolds as a whole, identifying opportunities to strengthen character arcs, sharpen plot and sub-plot progression, and deepen emotional resonance. The goal is not to reshape an author’s vision, but to help the story grow into its most compelling form.

Content
Content editing bridges the gap between story structure and sentence-level refinement. At this stage, we focus on the clarity of scenes, the effectiveness of transitions, the likeability of the characters and the consistency of tone and narrative perspective, all while preserving the author's voice and tone. The result is a manuscript that aligns with the genre's expectations while remaining unique, allowing readers to remain fully immersed in the world of the story.

Line
Line editing turns its attention to the rhythm of the prose itself. Here we refine sentence structure, word choice, and stylistic flow so each line carries its intended weight and meaning. At this stage, further cuts can be made and prose tightened to ensure manuscripts fall within genre-expected lengths while keeping readers hooked. Careful attention is given to tone, cadence, and readability, ensuring the manuscript feels both polished and distinctly the author’s own.

Copy
Copyediting is where the technical precision of language takes manuscript refinement to the next level.

Proofreading
Proofreading serves as the last editorial safeguard before a manuscript reaches readers. At this stage, the work is nearly complete, and the focus shifts to catching lingering typographical errors, formatting inconsistencies, or minor mechanical issues. This final pass ensures the manuscript enters the world in its most polished and professional form while remaining unique to the author's voice and genre-aligned.

Custom
Not every manuscript fits neatly into a single editorial stage — and some projects call for a more nuanced approach. Our custom editing service is designed for authors and publishers seeking a tailored combination of developmental insight, stylistic refinement, and technical precision. Whether you need a focused review of specific sections or a blended editorial pass, we shape our approach to meet the needs of your manuscript and your goals.

At Amor Libri, marketing is where story meets its readership. We design thoughtful, intentional strategies that extend the life of a manuscript beyond the page, creating visibility that feels both authentic and enduring. Because the right story, placed well, finds the readers it was meant for.
Like with our editorial services, each marketing project is scheduled intentionally within our calendar so your manuscript receives the thoughtful attention it deserves.
