​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.
