Proofreading
Has your manuscript already been edited? If so, proofreading can tidy up any errors previous editing may have missed. Proofreading is the final look-through before you turn in your document for publication. It involves correcting spelling, punctuation, layout, and consistency with bold, italic, etc. If your book or manuscript only needs a final read for minor lapses or typos, this is the service for you.

Copy Editing
Copy editing fixes problems with spelling, grammar and consistency of language use. It includes editing for spelling mistakes, typos, punctuation problems, capitalization errors, and awkward grammar. I will also flag factual inconsistencies, edit citations, and ensure your manuscript adheres to the style guide of your choice. If your manuscript has not yet been reviewed, this is most likely the service for you.

Line Editing
Need a more in-depth edit? Line editing can help with your manuscript's creative content and overall structure. A line edit addresses the creative content, writing style, and language use at the sentence and paragraph level. I will help you with the overall structure of your manuscript. Is your language clear, fluid, and pleasurable to read? Does it make sense? Are there any redundancies or inconsistencies in the text? If you need a more in-depth edit, this is the service for you.
