November 06, 20255 min read

Introduction

You’ve done the hard part — you’ve finished your first draft. But now what? The excitement of typing “The End” often gives way to overwhelm as questions start to pile up: How do I edit my manuscript? What about formatting, proofreading, cover design, or even marketing and publishing?

At All in the Edit, we know that turning your first draft into a professionally published book can feel like navigating a maze. That’s why we created the From First Draft to Fabulous Formula — a complete, done-for-you editing and publishing experience designed to take you from a finished manuscript to a polished, published author with confidence, clarity, and pride.

This isn’t just a service. It’s a transformation journey — one that empowers you to go from overwhelmed writer to accomplished author, with expert guidance every step of the way.

Your Transformation: From Draft to Published Author

Every author’s story starts with a spark of inspiration, but the journey from a first draft to a finished book can be daunting. The From First Draft to Fabulous Formula bridges that gap.

We take you from:
A: Finishing your first draft and feeling unsure about what comes next — editing, formatting, proofreading, design, and marketing.
To Z: Becoming a confident, proud author with a professionally published, market-ready book you can share with the world.

This program is more than just editing and publishing — it’s a guided transformation that builds your confidence, sharpens your skills, and ensures your book reflects the best of your craft.

What Authors Are Saying

Our clients describe working with All in the Edit as transformative, collaborative, and empowering.

This is my debut novel and I had no idea about editing, formatting and self publishing. It was very overwhelming until I met with Sarah who made the process sound so easy and completely achievable. I was super excited about the prospect of actually being a published author and now, I AM!
Telicia McSwan, Author of HUNTED

Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure! I found myself looking forward to her weekly check-ins and her opinions, which helped make my romantasy book, Demure, the best it could be. Even more than that, she adhered to my tight timeline so that my book could still be published on time! I am so glad that I found her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Hope E. Davis, Author of the Modern Legends of Sidhe series

All In The Edit were invaluable in whipping my latest manuscript into publishable shape, quickly identifying typos, grammatical errors and other issues that I'd managed to overlook (even after numerous proof-reads). I'd recommend this service to any writer serious about ensuring their final draft is as good as it can possibly be.
