​Line & Copy Editing

​

You've nailed your messaging and overall structure.  Now it's time to focus on readability.

We want your readers to be immersed in your storyline and stay on the page.

 

A line and copy edit corrects and smooths your writing artfully but invisibly, eliminating distractions while retaining your style and narrative voice. Line editing focuses on your writing at the sentence-level edits to ensure that your writing flows well, and the copy edit fine-tunes your book's texts, addressing grammatical and punctuation errors, incorrect facts, inconsistencies, and glaring typos.
