Line Editing & Copy Editing:

A line-by-line service that focuses on improving:

• Punctuation

• Grammar

• Spelling

• Word choice and usage

• Sentence structure, style, flow, and clarity

• Repetition and wordiness

• Inconsistencies

• Dialogue and dialogue tags

• Areas that may need additional work (suggestions are offered when possible)

Includes a style sheet to be passed on to the proofreader.

Proofreading:

Proofreading is the last stage of the editing process and is usually performed after a manuscript has been formatted for publishing. Text is examined for errors that may have been missed in previous editing rounds or that have been introduced during the formatting process. This service includes checking for:

• Typos

• Missing or incorrect punctuation

• Misspellings

• Grammar errors

• Line breaks, widows, orphans, extra spaces

• Formatting issues

Sample Edit:

I provide complimentary sample edits of up to 1,000 words. This allows you to see my editing style and helps us determine if we are a good fit for each other.
