Developmental Editing

This is a “big picture” edit. I will read your entire manuscript and provide insight on the plot, characters, tension, pacing, etc. I’ll provide a 1-2 page summary of my comments and overall impression of the story as well as suggestions of how the manuscript could be improved.

Line Editing

Think of line editing as developmental editing with a magnifying glass. I’ll go through your manuscript sentence by sentence looking for plot and character inconsistencies, correcting mood and tone, trimming sentences or passages that are too long, and adding an extra layer of polish to your prose. Comments and suggestions will be in the returned manuscript.

Copy Editing

Copyediting is the process of checking for mistakes in spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, punctuation, continuity, etc. I will act as your second pair of eyes to ensure your manuscript is error-free for publication. I will read your manuscript and suggest corrections as well as comment or query if something needs clarification.
