Everyone has a story. And sometimes that story is hard to write. We’ve all been there. Your story could be a résumé, a novel, a family history project, a business post, a memoir. Whatever it is, we can work with you to make it better.
We started Ever Editing to help you put your story out in the world. Your voice matters. Your ideas matter. We want your story to have an impact. We are three professional editors with over 30 years of combined experience editing everything from college applications, to online university courses, to fantasy novels. We can jump into your project no matter what stage it's at and help you get it done—and done right.
Unlike other editing services that charge premiums while doing the bare minimum, we make it a priority to not only edit but also become a supporter and a teammate. We know the writing process is difficult, and we can make it easier. We want to be your first and last stop for fantastic—and affordable—editing.
Here are just a few of the projects we have worked on. You can read about more projects and all the editing services we offer on our Services page.
Graduate Applications
We have helped 200+ students get into graduate, medical, and dental school—with scholarships. We help with every step of the writing process: resumes, personal statements, diversity statements, and more.
Textbooks
We have partnered with universities and publishing companies to create online, college-level textbooks. We guide authors as they write, code the content online, create assessments, and so much more.
Novels
We have worked with authors and publishing firms to create storylines, develop characters, and make sure every comma and word fit perfectly with each story.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Romance Novel
“I would recommend Ever Editing to everyone who needs any type of editing services. I worked with the team at Ever Editing for substantive edits, copyediting, typesetting, and proofreading. I got to work with three wonderful people during the different phases. Not only are they excellent at what they do, but they didn’t mind all my new author questions, and they really got into the story with me to help make it the best version possible. I couldn’t have released my debut novel with the confidence I have if it hadn’t been for them. I can’t wait to have my next novel written because I know exactly who I will be reaching out to for all my editing needs! Thank you so much for making this process as painless as possible!”
