The nitty-gritty
I choose to combine both line and copy editing into one service, which ensures your manuscript is ready for the next stage of its journey. This ensures your book receives thorough care and treatment, all in one go.
To achieve this, I look at:
- Punctuation, spelling and grammar
- Tense
- Dialogue formatting
- Sentence length and flow
- Unnecessary adverbs
- Character and scene descriptions and any anomalies
- Plot holes
- Inconsistencies
- Timelines
- Repetitive words
- Showing vs telling
- Hooks
How it works
Edits are made using ‘track changes’, which means you see every change and suggestion, and can decide for yourself which to reject, and which to accept. Some changes will be made directly to your manuscript (such as spellings and punctuation), while others will be in the form of comments, so you can assess if you want to include my ideas, or not.
You’ll also receive editorial feedback, which will highlight more complex issues that may have arisen during the edit, and include constructive suggestions for how to deal with them.
