Developmental Editing
So you finished (or almost finished) the draft of your novel. CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve accomplished something monumental. But you and I both know it’s not ready for the readers, yet. Let’s work together to get it there. I will analyze the beginning pages, character arc, point of view, pacing and more. You will get in-line comments on your manuscript as well as a detailed editorial letter with this service. As well as a follow-up call to discuss the edits once you’ve absorbed them.
Copyediting is what most people think of as proofreading. While proofreading is the very FINAL pass over a manuscript after it’s been formatted to catch any lingering or newly introduced errors. Copyediting is the step before proofreading in the revision process where word choice, grammar usage, and consistency in verb tense are scrutinized as well as the expected capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.

Line editing can happen before or alongside copyediting and it’s what helps make the writing sing. There might be places in a manuscript where the writing isn’t correct, but it should still be fixed. Using the same adjective twice in one paragraph is one example.
