Architedit™ shapes your manuscript and helps you see what it can become.
It is the home of Architectural Editing™, Sherika Shim's proprietary approach to guiding manuscripts from first draft to market-ready books and impactful literary brands.
Looking beyond individual edits, Architectural Editing™ develops the manuscript as a complete reading experience—its structure, flow, pacing, reader engagement, marketability, and the literary brand it has the potential to become, ensuring you've built something you'll be proud to stand behind for years to come.
Whether you're writing one book, a multi-book series, or building an impactful literary brand, you'll work with one Creative Director who understands your vision from beginning to end instead of coordinating multiple professionals across different stages of your book.
Every time a project changes hands, the vision has to be explained again. Details are interpreted differently. Momentum slows. What began as one clear idea can gradually become several different versions of the same story.
From manuscript development and editorial refinement to branding, cover design, publishing preparation, launch materials, author assets, promotional media, and the creative pieces that introduce your work to the world, Architedit™ becomes the missing piece, expanding your ideas, your opportunities, and the potential your manuscript has beyond a published book.
