Editing Services

This is the edit for when you need help tying story together. This looks at what works and what doesn’t work in the novel on a plot, scene, or character basis and helps you change the problems into solutions. This does not look at language, at grammar, punctuation or other small problems.

This type of editing looks at the paragraph and line level of the novel, helping to craft sentences into their best form. This edit looks at the language, the grammar, even the punctuation (though that can sometimes be left for proofreading). The point of the copy and line edit is to make sure that the style is consistent, the language flows, and that everything make sense logically from paragraph to paragraph and sentence to sentence. This can also look for inconsistencies that might appear throughout the story (e.g. a green shirt turning blue).

This is the edit for when you have your story and language down and want to focus simply on the spelling and punctuation. This is meant to make the smoothest read and get rid of all of those niggling little mistakes. Often, this is the last edit.
