The kit’s contents Author Biography Book Synopsis Executive Summary Investigative Brief Timeline of Events Media Contact Information Deliverables 1. Press-ready master document (Word) with all corrections accepted. 2. A tracked-changes version so I can review every edit. 3. A brief style summary highlighting any larger structural or tonal shifts you made to ensure consistency across the kit. Acceptance criteria • No grammar or punctuation errors remain. • Language adheres to AP Style and maintains a formal, professional voice. • Facts, names, and dates remain intact and unaltered. • Layout and headings stay consistent so the final file is ready for immediate distribution.

Press kits for investigative books demand precision—every word must withstand scrutiny from editors accustomed to vetting sensitive material. This 25-page package requires more than surface-level copyediting; it needs alignment with AP Style standards while preserving the investigative urgency that hooks tier-one media contacts. The editorial pass will address grammar, punctuation, and spelling across all sections, then refine tone consistency from the author biography through the timeline. Structural coherence matters here—journalists scanning this kit need to move seamlessly between the executive summary and investigative brief without tonal whiplash. AP Style compliance ensures no editorial gatekeepers pause over formatting or language choices. Deliverables include the press-ready master document with accepted corrections, a tracked-changes version for your review, and a style summary documenting any larger structural shifts. This approach keeps you fully informed while guaranteeing the final file requires zero revisions before distribution to media outlets. The result: a publication-ready kit that commands attention from the moment it lands in an editor's inbox.

This ensures your editorial decisions remain visible and defensible when pitching to tier-one outlets. Specific focus areas include author biography tone calibration, synopsis pacing, and executive summary impact. Timeline formatting and media contact presentation will be validated against current journalistic standards. All names, dates, and factual assertions remain protected—edits target clarity, consistency, and professional presentation only. Delivery includes both documents plus style documentation within 5-7 business days. This approach positions the kit for immediate use across AP, Reuters, and major publishing contacts without revision cycles.
