It all begins with an idea. That moment of magic, that
second of
serendipity when a story springs to mind.
Then, after hours, days, seasons and years of
hard work, it all ends with

‘The End.’

Or does it?…

‘…in comes Sinclair House…’

Sinclair House is dedicated to working with new and experienced SFF authors, to bridge the gap between an unpolished draft and a book that is ready for publication!

As an author, you may find yourself at an impasse:

  • Your first draft is done, but you dread editing it alone.

  • You love your work, but you can’t quite put your finger on its weaknesses.

  • You feel too close to your story and want someone to help push it to be the very best it can be.

  • You’re keen to get your book published, but need direction to help shape it, followed by guidance on getting it out into the world.

These moments can make or break a book—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Sinclair House will help transform your story into its strongest form and guide you through these situations, provide a warm and professional editing experience, and champion your book from draft to publication and beyond.

Editing Services

Individual Services

Developmental Edit

The Developmental Edit service will see us work together to address the broad strokes of your story—plot, structure, character, pacing, worldbuilding, and style. This will be delivered in separate documents to your manuscript. No changes will be made to the text of your manuscript. This is the perfect service for those finished with their first draft and looking for the next step to polishing their manuscript, or those a draft or two in who feel uncertain about the direction of their novel.

— 1x introductory meeting to discuss your book.

— 2x full read-throughs of your manuscript (one to provide Developmental Edit, another after to analyse changes made and provide final feedback).

— 5x edit meetings to discuss the structure of your book, to brainstorm ideas with you, and address any queries/concerns you have, and to provide chapter-scene analysis & feedback.

— A chapter-scene summary table (useful for identifying structural and perspective issues).

— A full developmental report, identifying overall the strengths and weaknesses of your novel, as well as solutions on how to move forward.
