About this service
Summary
In a line edit, I methodically comb your document, line by line. I make revisions and comments in the document using the word processor of your choice (such as MS Word, or Google Docs). In addition to spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax corrections, I check and edit for readability, clarity, structural and ideological consistency, pacing, and cadence.
When I finish, you get a revised and commented copy of your manuscript, and a typed holistic debrief covering what I think is working well, what could be tweaked for improvement, and what may need to be revamped.
What's included
A copy of the commented and revised document
In a line edit, I methodically comb your document, line by line, for: • Verbosity & redundancy • Extraneous or overused words or punctuation • Poor transitions & unclear syntax • Tonal or tense consistency • Spelling, grammar, punctuation.
A holistic debrief document
Features overall considerations of the work as a whole in four categories: 1. Readability & clarity – does it sound good? 2. Structural & ideological consistency – does it look good? 3. Pacing & cadence – does it feel good? 4. What is working, what needs work, and what may need revamped.
