Manuscript Editing Services
Book and novel editing service in Australia
Whether you plan to self-publish your book or have a publisher in mind, it is imperative to ensure that your manuscript is clear, well thought out and grammatically correct. Manuscripts come in many different shapes and sizes—they may have started their life as a short story, thesis or research or scientific paper, or they may be written by more than one author. However, what they all have in common is that they represent an enormous investment of both time and effort.
Today, many publishers expect authors to have already had their manuscripts professionally edited before submitting them. Capstone Editing can help you with this via our manuscript editing services. For example, our book editors offer a developmental editing service, where we will work with you from the very beginning of the writing process, advising on everything from conception and structure to inconsistencies in narrative.
If you would like to self-publish, it’s still advisable to use professional book editors to ensure your finished manuscript is of publishable quality. Capstone Editing provides professional book editing services in Australia for both scientific and fiction books, and our book editors are among the best in the country.
Top-quality book editing services for all writers
Capstone Editing’s editing services for writers will give your book the competitive edge it needs in an increasingly competitive publishing world.
We will return your manuscript to you publication-ready, with appropriate formatting and referencing (if applicable).
If you are a self-published author, your manuscript will be formatted and referenced for your intended sales platform.
If more than one author is involved in the writing of your book, your editor will ensure consistency of language use and the overall coherence of the manuscript. They will also check and improve your manuscript for structure and logical organisation.
Our experienced editors ensure that your manuscript is:
-
logically structured and follows standard requirements for major publishers in your chosen field
-
free of errors and inappropriate spelling, punctuation and grammar
Most importantly, Capstone Editing will find a book editor who can assist you to achieve the appropriate style and tone for your genre and target audience.

Contemporary feminist political economy and feminism as a sphere of analysis emerged through the women’s movement in the 1970’s. Feminist political economy is concerned with bringing women’s economic role and contributions to the fore. This was necessary as the two dominant theories—neoclassical economics and Marxian political economy—were seen as unable to provide a framework to consider how gender relates to the economy (Tong, 2009: 116). This short paper will outline why neoclassical economics continues to be incompatible with feminist political economy analyses. It will be argued that feminist political economy is not incompatible with Marxian political economy.
