From correction to excellence

Professional editing adapted to any format or need. We take care over every word.

At Angie Vásquez Books, we refine your texts so that they communicate with clarity, coherence and style. From literary manuscripts to technical reports, we attend to every detail so that your message flows, and keeps your voice intact.

Editing is the decisive step that turns a good text into a genuinely effective one. It is not simply a matter of correcting errors, but of refining structure, rhythm and tone so that the message is understood clearly, reads naturally and connects with whoever is reading it. Every project — book, article, website or report — deserves a professional review that sharpens its impact without losing your style or your voice.

We help your texts communicate with precision, personality and professionalism. The result: a text that is finely tuned, persuasive and ready to fulfil its purpose.

Developmental editing — or structural editing — is the foundation of a solid text. We review the work as a whole to ensure coherence, clarity and narrative or argumentative strength, examining structure, the ordering of ideas and how they connect, so that every part earns its place.

  • Adjusting tone and vocabulary to suit audience and purpose.
  • Reordering sections to strengthen internal logic.
  • Removing repetition, gaps and faulty connections.
  • Refining expressions and sentences for greater fluency.
  • Proposing improvements to characters, concepts or sections.
Ideal for
manuscripts, essays, lengthy reports or texts that need clearer order and a stronger throughline.

Line editing is where a text is tuned. We attend to rhythm, tone and internal coherence so that the reading experience is fluent and enjoyable. We refine how ideas are presented, sharpen transitions, and take care that the author’s voice remains intact — clearer, and more assured.

  • Analysing rhythm and narrative or expository flow.
  • Adjusting tone and voice to suit genre and audience.
  • Removing redundancy and simplifying overly complex sentences.
  • Strengthening expressiveness and precision of language.
  • Correcting subtle inconsistencies that disrupt the reading.
Ideal for
manuscripts, novels, essays or longer texts that need a lift in presentation and literary quality, without losing the essence of the author.

Copy-editing is the last line of defence against formal errors. It ensures your text is free of spelling, punctuation and formatting mistakes, meets editorial conventions, and has been attended to in every detail before publication.

  • A thorough review of grammar and spelling.
  • Applying typographic conventions and house style.
  • Checking consistency in the use of capitals, italics and quotation marks.
  • A final adjustment of the text ahead of layout or print.
Ideal for
any text ready for layout or publication that needs an impeccable finish.

Editing adapted to technical or academic needs, where editorial judgement works hand in hand with terminological precision and the standards of the field.

  • Terminological consistency appropriate to the subject area.
  • Compliance with citation and referencing conventions (APA, Chicago, and others).
  • Review of data, figures and the technical coherence of the content.
  • Adapting register for specialist or institutional readerships.
Ideal for
technical reports, theses, academic papers or institutional documents that demand terminological precision.

Proofreading is the final check before publication or print. We catch and correct small errors or layout issues that may have slipped through earlier stages.

  • Correcting any remaining typographical errors.
  • Checking line breaks, spacing and other formatting details.
  • Confirming the final text is ready for print or digital publication.
Ideal for
projects already laid out that need one final check to guarantee an impeccable result.

Does professional editing also help with the new AI regulation?
Yes. The EU AI Act exempts AI-generated text that has undergone human review with clear editorial responsibility from the labelling requirement — which is exactly what this service provides. If you use AI to draft content and then work with us on editing, the result already meets that standard.
