Copy editing focuses on correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. We catch those small errors that might slip through the cracks. A copy editor ensures that your writing is clear, concise, and free from distractions, so readers can focus on your message.
Developmental editing is the most in-depth type of editing. It involves reviewing the overall structure, plot, pacing, and character development of your book. We’ll provide feedback on the organization and flow of your manuscript, helping you make big-picture changes that improve the story. This is the stage where we refine your ideas and make sure everything fits together.
Line-by-line editing looks at each individual sentence. We focus on clarity, word choice, and style. It’s about making sure your writing is polished and effective sentence by sentence. We’ll suggest changes to improve readability, fix awkward phrasing, and ensure consistency in tone and voice throughout the book.
Proofreading is the final stage of editing. It involves reviewing your manuscript for any remaining errors after all the previous editing steps are complete. We focus on catching typos, missed punctuation, formatting issues, and other minor mistakes. Proofreading ensures that your manuscript is error-free and ready for publication.
