Copy editing involves a thorough combing-through of your manuscript for grammatical errors, incorrect punctuation, and inconsistencies. The goal is to improve readability and produce a polished manuscript ready for publication. All copy edits come with a style sheet and a consultation call to answer questions.
During line editing, I dissect your manuscript on a sentence-level basis to bring out the beauty in your writing. This involves deleting filler words and hedges, offering suggestions for stronger vocabulary, and restructuring sentences to improve flow and variability. All line edits come with a writing report designed to highlight your strengths and point out potential areas for growth. Line edits also include a consultation call to answer any questions.
Line and copy editing includes everything listed above. Line editing occurs first, after which I return the manuscript for you to revise. Once your revisions are completed, the manuscript comes back to me for a copy edit. This service comes with a style sheet, a writing report, and a consultation call.
