Editing & publishing

Editing submissions

Submit your manuscript for the chance of receiving a free developmental, structural edit or manuscript review.

Submit your manuscript

Fill out the form to submit your manuscript for a chance to win a free edit or review.

You retain the rights to your books in totality.

We will provide an extensive report or review from which you can take your manuscript to the next level of publishing.

Each month, we will choose one manuscript as a winner. Due to the number of manuscripts we receive we can’t give feedback on all of them. If your manuscript isn’t chosen, you are welcome to purchase our paid editing and review services.

How it works

Books / Manuscripts

You give us the manuscript in its draft form, we edit it, do the internal layout, design the book cover, upload it for you on book publishing platforms, publish it under Fae Editions and provide marketing materials.

*Prices start at €3000 and depending on the state of your manuscript, and how much work that needs to be done to get it ready for publishing. If it needs to be completely rewritten, or the first draft is under 60k words, the price will increase exponentially.

Editorial

Editorial craft, publisher-grade production

Fae Editions is a specialised editorial craft production house. We work with authors, including non-native English writers across Germany and Scandinavia, to help you bring your manuscripts and content to a professional, market-ready standard.

What We Offer

We offer a range of services to meet the needs of every client. Have something else in mind? We'd be happy to work with you to create a custom quote.

  • We take your manuscript, polish it, design the internal layout and book cover, upload it to book publishing platforms, provide marketing materials and publish the book under Fae Editions.

    This is what is termed hybrid publishing.

  • At Fae media we are deeply genre-literate editors who will cheer for
    your morally grey characters, push your pacing until it's genuinely
    unputdownable, and tell you when the magic system has a hole in it.

    Fae media might be a good fit if:

    • You're writing fantasy, romantasy, dark
      romance, dark academia, sci-fi, or dystopian
      fiction

    • You want an editor who reads your genre for
      pleasure, not just professionally

    • You need honest structural feedback — not
      just encouragement

    • You're ready to make your manuscript the best
      version of itself

  • If you’re not ready for a full developmental edit and want a shorter, manuscript review we offer a service for this. A manuscript review will help you to get your duck’s in a row and tell you where you can improve your manuscript.

  • We offer line editing, copyediting and proofreading of your books, and general overall editing.

  • We work with you to outline your non-fiction book to make sure it’s marketable, reflects your expertise and to help you write your book.

  • If you’re not sure where to start, we offer book guidance as a service to help you decide what to write about.

  • If you want to write a book, but don’t have the time or expertise, we offer ghostwriting as a service. You can share your notes, concept, subject expertise and book goal and we can turn it into a book for you.

    Note: This is a limited service and only offered on a piece-by-piece arrangement.
