Line & Copy Editing for your ManuscriptSophia Lorraine Cequeña
Do you want your readers not to be distracted by errors in delivery and grammar? Then I am the perfect fit!
It's just that when your readers notice inconsistencies and errors, they will get distracted from the enchanting story that you're writing. We don't want that. We want them to smoothly read through your story, and understand the message that you want to impart.
I also don't focus on correctness. I want to preserve the human aspect of stories. For example, this sentence isn't supposed to be right:
"I tried to heal, all on my own, only to find out he almost died?"
But it works. This is because we, as humans, value the humanity in reading. We want to be able to relate and sympathize. That's how we make an impactful story.
In line edits, I focus on the following:
Word Usage - Is the term “fragrance” or “scent” better in this context? Will the readers be able to imagine it more vividly?
Mood/Tone - Should this paragraph sound “exciting”? Can the reader consistently feel that in this paragraph?
Conciseness - Should we have one more sentence talking about this? Do the readers get the point already?
Flow and Structure - Is this paragraph talking about the same topic? Should we make this the next paragraph?
In copy edits, I focus on the following:
Punctuation - Should there be a comma here? Does the reader need to mentally pause here?
Word Usage - Do we start this sentence with “but”? Didn’t you just do that a sentence ago?
Spelling - Is it actually “acknowledgement”? Is the spelling consistent throughout the manuscript?
Capitalizations - Do we capitalize “the festival of stars”? Is the capitalization consistent throughout the manuscript?
In Copy Editing Style Sheets, I also include the following:
Manuscript Overview
Linguistic Preferences
Punctuation Preferences
Dialogue Preferences
Formatting & Layout Preferences (Outline only for your reference)
Character Descriptions
Setting Descriptions
Capitalization Preferences
References (if needed)
Price:
