Development Editing

Developmental editing focuses on the big picture of your manuscript. This includes improving the structure, pacing, plot, character development, and overall flow of the story. As a developmental editor, I collaborate with you to refine your narrative, resolve inconsistencies, and ensure your story resonates with readers while maintaining your unique voice.

Line Editing

Line editing hones the style, tone, and clarity of your writing at the sentence and paragraph level. It’s about improving how your ideas are expressed, ensuring your language is engaging and your prose flows smoothly. This involves refining word choice, eliminating redundancy, and enhancing the rhythm and readability of your manuscript.

Copyediting

Copyediting ensures your manuscript is polished and professional by focusing on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax. It also includes checking for consistency in style, terminology, and formatting. As a copyeditor, I aim to correct technical errors while preserving your voice and intent.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final step before publication. This involves carefully reviewing your manuscript to catch any remaining typos, formatting inconsistencies, or minor errors that may have been overlooked during previous edits. It ensures your book is error-free and ready for readers.
