Copyediting
A close line-by-line reading of your text to address any problems with correct grammar usage, unclear phrasing, continuity issues, awkward transitions, and repetition. If you’re planning on self-publishing your novel, this is an essential step in the process of preparing your manuscript for public consumption. Though I do recommend you also sign up for a final proofread, this process should eliminate most typos in your manuscript.
The process addresses the following areas:
- awkward or unclear language
- correct word choice
- eradicating clichés and repetitions
- continuity errors
- transitions
- spelling and grammar
- redundancies
- punctuation
- dialogue presentation
- POV issues
All prospective clients receive a free sample edit, which allows them to get a sense of my editing style with no obligation to proceed. Once I’ve completed the edit, I will provide you with a quote.
