Editing to Perfection

You have written a non-fiction book, novel, article or business document. Good for you!

No doubt you have read it over, corrected your grammatical errors, and re-worded some parts. That's good, but sometimes, even when you have gone over and over that manuscript, you may still miss something. 

What you need is someone with professional word skills to edit your work. An editor will notice grammatical errors, sentence problems and whether your work flows as it should. The structure and pacing of your work is as important as the grammar and your editor will help you with any areas that may need smoothing out, changing, moving, or eliminating to make your story or non-fiction writing say what it needs to say in the most concise and professional manner.

We offer the following:

Copy Editing for Fiction

Your editor will look at your whole story. In a novel, you need to know that your plot line flows evenly and your characters' actions make sense. We look at pacing, clarity and unity of purpose. Are your characters realistic and are their thoughts, actions, and dialogue consistent with who they are? Is your story engaging from the first page and is there appropriate tension and conflict? Does the story come to a satisfying conclusion? Character development, dialogue, language, setting and overall style are checked and edited. Your editor will look at the work as a whole and help you create a professionally-written novel.

Copy Editing for Non-Fiction

You editor will look at the totality of your manuscript and work with you to create a book that reflects the image you want to portray to the world. Whether you are a speaker, educator, business person or memoirist, your work needs professional polish. As a non-fiction writer, your book is an important part of your overall career goals and we can help you attain the results you want.

Line Editing

Line editing is exactly what it says - the editor reads your document, story, or manuscript line by line and checks and corrects spelling, grammatical errors and structural inconsistencies. Your editor will make sure all words are spelled correctly, the appropriate punctuation is used, and the paragraph subjects are cohesive. The editor also checks for grammatical constructions such as run-on sentences, redundancies, prepositional phrases, and excessive use of adjectives and adverbs.
