Real editing, from proposal to final pass

We work with authors at every stage: developmental editing to shape the argument or arc, line editing to sharpen the prose, and proofreading before anything goes to print. No manuscript leaves Avantlis without a second, careful set of eyes.

  • Developmental & structural editing
  • Line editing & copyediting
  • Proofreading & fact-checking
  • Ghostwriting & co-authoring support

Books built to be held, and books built to scale

We produce both physical print runs and digital editions: typesetting, cover design, and formatting handled in-house so the finished object matches the ambition of what's inside it.

  • Cover design & interior typesetting
  • Print production & press management
  • E-book & audiobook formatting
  • ISBN registration & metadata

Getting the book into the world, and keeping it there

Publishing doesn't end at the print run. We manage retail and online distribution, media outreach, and launch campaigns, then keep working the backlist long after the release date has passed.

  • Retail & online distribution management
  • Launch campaigns & media outreach
  • Author events & speaking coordination
  • Backlist marketing & rights management
