About this service

Summary

I am a professional copyeditor trained at the American Writers & Artists Institute, AWAI. As the self-published author of a two-volume poetic classic, the lessons I learned in the process is a huge advantage in giving meritorious Copyediting and Proofreading services to writers and independent authors aspiring to become self-published.

What's included

  • Copyediting

    The document is thoroughly scoured for deficiencies in grammar, syntax, and style, as in AP, CMOS, or custom. Links and references are checked. The focus is on establishing clarity and consistency as applicable to the target audience, while adhering to the author's voice.

  • Line Editing

    The more abstract and substantive editing delves deeper into the overriding theme, to enhance flow and congruity for optimal effect of the writing. This also involves re-writing entire sentences or paragraphs to eliminate redundancies, boring clichés, and unintelligibility.

  • Proofreading

    The document is scoured for typographical, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors. These bugs are excised to arrive at a polished document for submission. It is important to remember that AI tools alone cannot proofread flawlessly: the human oversight is usually necessitated in differentiating between "mail" and "male" in real-world contexts.
