Frequently Asked Questions

What’s Line Editing?

It’s an in-depth review of key aspects of the document, such as the characterization, development, narrative, structure, style, and vocabulary. I offer detailed suggestions to make sentences shine and point out redundancies. As an added bonus, I’ll conduct a sensitivity reading of your work for no extra charge. You’ll also receive my notes and overall comments too.

When would I need line editing in my writing process?

You’ve finished the first draft of your novel, your chapter, your short story, your essay, or your blog post. Now’s the time to cleave the document straight to the bone and help show you what’s working and what’s not with the document right now.

What’s included in Copy Editing?

I pay close attention to punctuation, consistency aspects, correction of grammatical and linguistic errors, spelling and typographical errors. You’ll receive a close review to ensure accurate, consistent usage.

When would I need copy editing in my writing process?

You’ve been through at least one round of line editing with me (or another editor), and you want to fine-tune it as much as possible. You’re simply asking for another pair of eyes to take another look.

What’s included in Proofreading?

A final, strict, in-depth correction of capitalization, grammar issues, misspellings, punctuation, and verb tense.

When would I need proofreading in my writing process?

To me, this is the absolute end of the line in your creative process. You’ve pitched it and the agent is waiting for something that shows off your voice. You’re planning to submit to literary magazines or contests. You’re ready to publish your blog. Choose this option for one last once-over. It doesn’t matter if I’ve previously looked at your document or not.

I don’t know what I need! Can you help me understand?

Of course, I can! If you’d like, I can book an appointment with you – conducted via email or through chat – and let you know where you need to begin.
