Your story is more than just words on a page.
Are you self-publishing your next great story? How exciting! I would love to work with you to create a high-quality book that readers will be talking about long after they’ve finished reading it.
What’s line editing, copyediting, and proofreading?
Line editing ensures sentences are as effective as possible. This involves tightening up the sentence structure so the language is sharp and clear. It looks closely at word choice and syntax, and how they contribute to the overall tone of the text.
Copyediting goes deeper and is a more technical approach to text. Along with correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation, it also involves research to verify basic facts and ensures consistency throughout the overall text.
Proofreading is the final step before publishing, and takes your story and refines it into a flawless experience for your audience. Contrary to belief, it’s more than just fixing commas. It involves correcting spelling, punctuation, formatting, and word use.
My services include both editing and proofreading. Both are important steps in the publishing process of your book. My job is to bring fresh eyes and a sharp perspective to analyze every word, sentence, and phrase. If you are unsure of which service is right for your project, send me an email and let’s discuss it.
