Copy editing is the art of noticing.

As soon as I open your document, I notice all the little details we can correct to make your writing shine. Whether you’re a novice author or well-established, written works will always need some adjustments.

A few items I check when editing:

• Title page, Contents page, and chapter formatting

• Commas, apostrophes, dashes, spaces, quotation marks

• Hyphenation, capitalization, symbols, and numbers

• Consistent and correct use of names, acronyms, and places

And so much more. It’s magical to make a book as consistent, clear, cohesive, and correct as possible. A copy edit service includes two full passes over your manuscript.

As a copy editor, I will give you feedback and help you produce clean, crisp, error-free copy that adheres to the industry standards. I am certified and ready to help you take your book to the next step in the publishing process!

Line editing is an in-depth copyedit, addressing your text line by line.

A line edit includes:

· Deeper editing input and changes to your text vs. simply cleaning up the mechanics for you. I make more than two passes over the text as I build more time into my schedule to interact with your manuscript (2+ weeks, and 2+ passes).

· Useful suggestions regarding inconsistencies or logical issues found in your manuscript and how to improve it.

· Adjusting sentence- and paragraph-level issues, and addressing stylistic choices, such as word choice and tone.

· Help with organizing paragraphs and chapters, as well as ideas on extra needs: recipes, knitting patterns, worksheets, etc.

Much more is included in the overall editing process, and it’s exciting for me to make sure every little component is in its proper place so your book is at its best.
