Leveraging Modern Publishing Tools for World Class Books
Our Story
Crane Books is committed to producing high-quality titles that meet the standards of today’s discerning readers and industry professionals. Each manuscript undergoes a rigorous editorial process using a combination of advanced publishing technologies and traditional expert review. This includes the use of AI-assisted editing platforms to polish grammar, tone, and clarity in the early drafting stages. These tools streamline the revision process while ensuring consistent voice and readability across chapters.
Once digitally refined, all manuscripts are reviewed by experienced human editors—specializing in developmental editing, copyediting, and line editing—who bring years of publishing expertise to each project. This hybrid approach accelerates production timelines without compromising literary quality.
Crane Books also uses collaborative platforms for real-time feedback, version tracking, and seamless integration between authors, editors, and beta readers. For narrative cohesion and factual integrity, manuscripts may also be evaluated by subject matter experts and sensitivity readers where appropriate.
The result is a publication process that balances innovation with craftsmanship—producing books that are both professionally executed and competitively positioned in the market.
The process is optimized for memoirs and children's books.
