How much time will an edit take?

At KLS, we recognize the importance of your time in the world of writing and publishing. Our team of seasoned professionals is dedicated to delivering high-quality and timely literary services backed by their extensive expertise in the field.


Our editing timelines are designed to be flexible, considering various factors such as project word count and the number of services booked. This adaptability ensures that we can cater to your specific needs and deliver the best results.


Most editing projects booked for one service take two weeks on average. However, if the manuscript is over 1000k, we may need up to three weeks.


The Fundamentals (previously The Total Package) is one of our most popular services. With this package, you get not one but two literary professionals working on your project. The average time for this service from start to finish is five weeks. Your manuscript would come to us for The Essentials (previously The First Round. A combined copy & line edit). This takes two weeks. After this, we will return your edited manuscript, and you will have one week to work through the edits and make any changes you choose. We can schedule the proofreading for later if you need more time at this stage. Then the new version is returned to us for Proofreading, which takes another two weeks.


Turnaround times for our other packages depend on how many services are being taken and how spread out they are. Time frames are confirmed and set out in your Literary Services Agreement at the point of booking.


For most services, we usually book 1-2 months in advance. So, if you have a work in progress that will soon need editing services and would like to request a sample edit and discuss it further, it’s best to reach out sooner rather than later so we can let you know our availability.
