We help authors, publishers, and organisations in Singapore turn raw manuscripts into polished, market-ready books. From developmental editing to print-ready formatting, every page gets the attention it needs.
Explore our services Get in touchWe started BookTrustWave because too many promising manuscripts stall between the final draft and the finished product. Our team of editors, designers, and publishing consultants works from Singapore's Central Region, serving writers across Southeast Asia and beyond.
Each project gets a dedicated editor who stays with it from the first read-through to the last proof. That single point of contact means fewer miscommunications and faster turnarounds. Most editing projects wrap up within four to six weeks, depending on word count and complexity.
We work with fiction and non-fiction across genres: literary novels, memoirs, business books, academic texts, children's picture books, and self-help titles. If it has pages, we can improve it.
Our office sits at 18 Orchard Boulevard, Singapore 238823, Central Region, Singapore. Authors are welcome to visit in person for a manuscript consultation, or we can arrange a video call at a time that suits your schedule.
Six core services that take your book from rough draft to reader-ready.
We look at structure, pacing, character arcs, and argument flow. You get a detailed editorial letter with chapter-by-chapter notes, usually within three weeks of submission.
Grammar, syntax, consistency, and style guide compliance. We use tracked changes in Word or Google Docs so you can accept or reject each suggestion individually.
The final pass before print. We catch typos, formatting inconsistencies, widows, orphans, and broken cross-references. Turnaround is typically five to ten business days.
Interior layout, font selection, chapter openers, and print-ready PDF files. We design for both offset printing and print-on-demand services like IngramSpark and KDP.
Confused by ISBNs, distribution agreements, or metadata? We walk you through the options: traditional submission, hybrid publishing, or full self-publishing. One-hour sessions, bookable online.
A comprehensive report on your manuscript's strengths and areas for improvement, delivered as a 2,000 to 4,000-word document. Ideal before you commit to a full edit.
Practical reasons, not marketing fluff.
Your manuscript is never passed between freelancers mid-project. The editor who reads chapter one also reviews the final proof, so nothing falls through the cracks.
We quote a delivery date before work begins. If we need more time, we tell you at least a week in advance. Late delivery means a partial refund, written into the contract.
Every project is covered by a non-disclosure agreement. Your unpublished manuscript stays private until you decide to share it with the world.
Rates are per 1,000 words for editing, or per hour for consultation. We send a fixed quote after reviewing a sample, and the price does not change once you approve it.
"My memoir went through developmental editing here. The feedback was honest, specific, and genuinely improved the structure of the book. I signed with an agent three months later."Rachel T., memoir author
"I needed a business book proofread on a tight deadline. They turned it around in six days with zero errors in the final print run. The typesetting looked clean and professional."David K., business author
"The publishing consultation saved me from signing a bad contract with a vanity press. Worth every dollar. I ended up self-publishing through IngramSpark with their guidance."Mei Lin S., first-time novelist
