Your Spelling Should Be a Decision, Not a Default Setting
Most word processors ship set to American English, and most cheap editing runs on the same setting. So Canadian manuscripts come back with the u stripped out of honour, quotation marks flipped, and metric measurements converted for no reason. We ask which market your book is for before we touch a page, then hold that choice steady from the first line to the last.
Book Editor Services in Canada, From Rough Draft to Upload Ready
Authors KD Publishing works with authors in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Winnipeg, Halifax, and towns far from any of them. Literary fiction and memoir. Immigrant family histories written across two languages. Business and trades books from people who spent thirty years doing the work first. Manuscripts that carry French passages, Indigenous words, or regional speech that deserves to survive the edit.
- Canadian Press Style as Standard: Canadian Oxford spelling and CP conventions applied consistently, unless you ask for something else.
- You Choose the Market First: Canadian, American, or both, agreed before editing starts so nothing shifts halfway.
- French and Indigenous Terms Checked, Not Corrected Away: Accents, spellings, and place names verified against proper sources.
- Editors Across Every Time Zone: From St. John's to Victoria, calls happen at your hour, not somebody else's.

Before the Commas, the Chapters Have to Work
We read the full manuscript and write you an honest assessment of what it is doing. Where the story stalls, which sections repeat each other, what a reader will skip, and which chapter should have opened the book. You get that in plain language, plus a call with the editor who read every page, so you can decide what happens next with real information in front of you.
Where Your Sentences Stop Sounding Borrowed
This is the pass that fixes rhythm. We shorten the long approach to a point, cut the phrases every draft repeats, and let dialogue sound like people rather than transcripts. Alongside it, we apply one consistent style sheet covering spelling, punctuation, numbers, and dates, so your book reads the same on page nine as it does on page three hundred.
The Cold Read That Catches What You Cannot
A proofreader who has never seen your manuscript reads it last, because familiar eyes stop noticing errors after the third pass. Doubled words, a stray accent, chapter headings that drifted out of line. Then we build the print interior and the Kindle file to specification, ready for Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, and your local printer.
Send Us Two Chapters. You Will Get an Honest Read Back.
No fee and no sales script attached. We read your sample, tell you which level of editing your manuscript genuinely needs, and send one fixed quote with a delivery date. If the book only needs a proofread, we will say that instead of selling you a structural edit you do not need.

Four Stages, and Nothing Moves Without Your Word
One price agreed at the start, and the second round is already inside it.
01
Sample Read, Style Sheet, Quote
We read a portion of the manuscript, agree on your spelling and style choices in writing, and quote a fixed price and timeline.
02
The Edit Itself
Structure first, then sentences, all in tracked changes with margin notes that explain the reasoning behind every call.
03
Your Round
Accept, reject, and question freely. We answer every comment and re-edit anything you rewrote, with nothing extra to pay.
04
Proofread and Final Files
A fresh proofreader reads the approved manuscript, then we deliver print and ebook files ready to upload or send to a printer.
Manuscripts That Came to Us Unfinished and Left as Books
A Professional Book Editor in Canada Should Know Where Your Reader Lives
An editor who does not know your setting will smooth out the parts that make it real. The wrong spelling of a lake, a season described by someone who has never lived through a February here, a French line rewritten into something nobody says. Our editors keep your voice, your region, and your bilingual passages intact, and remove only what genuinely gets in a reader’s way.

Two Things Canadian Authors Ask Us About First
Most writers arrive with the same two worries. Whether their book will still sound like theirs after an edit, and whether the finished files will actually work when they go to publish. Both are fair questions, and both get answered before you pay anything.

A Style Sheet You Can Hold Us To
Before editing begins, we write down every choice we are making about spelling, punctuation, numbers, and terminology in your book. You approve it. From then on, consistency is measurable rather than a promise, and you can check our work against it.
Files That Work on Amazon.ca and in Print
You leave with a print-ready interior and an ebook file built to specification. Your ISBN comes free from Library and Archives Canada, and we format around it so nothing needs redoing at upload.
