Your Words Matter. We Help Them Shine.
At Current Words Publishing, our approach to both copy-editing and developmental editing is rooted in respect for the writer’s voice and vision. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all editing. Whether your manuscript is a sweeping epic, a tightly structured memoir, or a collection of poems, we tailor our feedback to suit your style, your goals, and your intended audience. Developmental editing focuses on the big picture—structure, pacing, tone, and character arcs—while our copy-editing dives into grammar, clarity, and flow. The goal is always the same: to elevate your work without diluting what makes it uniquely yours.
Reliable and Experienced
Every mark counts | Editing that builds better writers
Unlike many traditional work-for-hire editors who focus solely on the task at hand with little regard for your growth as a writer, Current Words takes a personal, vested interest in every manuscript we edit. Our goal isn’t just to mark up pages, but to provide clear, instructive feedback that helps you understand the why behind each edit—empowering you to grow as a writer with every revision. Our total editing word count exceeds 5 million and is expanding every day—we have the experience to and reliability to guide you on a path for success.
While many of our clients go on to publish with us, we’re equally committed to those pursuing traditional or self-publishing paths. No matter your route, we deliver honest, constructive, and thoughtful feedback with your long-term success in mind. Whether we’re helping you shape your story from the ground up or fine-tuning your final draft, we consider it a true privilege to be part of your creative journey
Full-service editing | From start to finish
You don’t need to spend a fortune on editing, and you shouldn’t be paying multiple editors to take on multiple editing elements. At Current Words, we understand that every writer’s process—and budget—is different. That’s why we offer flexible editing options to meet you where you are.
If your manuscript is complete and ready for a full edit, we offer a comprehensive, fixed-rate service that gives you detailed feedback across the entire work. We will perform a professional copy edit and developmental edit, and we’ll also proofread your work at a rate of 3 cents per-word rate (inclusive). No hidden extra fees, no add-ons to buy. This plan is ideal for authors who are ready to take their book through a full polish in one go, whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, or memoir.
The Writing Path | a flexible editing service for authors
For writers who are still drafting—or prefer a more gradual approach—we offer The Writing Path, a monthly editing plan starting at just $125 for 5,000 words of professional copy and developmental editing. Whether you’re working on short stories, a novel, or personal essays, this plan provides consistent, high-quality feedback without the pressure of completing your entire manuscript all at once.
Want to work more frequently than monthly? No problem—we’re happy to accommodate your schedule. You set the pace and word count; we handle the rest. It’s an ideal way to stay accountable, refine your craft in real time, and make steady, confident progress toward your publishing goals.
