About this service

Summary

Copy editing looks at coherence, sentence structure, tense changes, point-of-view changes, word choice, repetition, readability, consistency, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and missing or repeated words. My suggestions, grammar explanations, and writing tips will add to your current book and help you craft your next one.

What's included

  • Edited manuscript

    The client will receive their edited manuscript with Track Changes enabled. Grammar and writing tips, suggestions, and explanations of edits will be in the margins.

  • Editorial report and style guide

    A Word document will summarize my edits, give you ways to improve your writing, and list details about your manuscript, including character and place names and descriptions, a word list, timeline details, formatting and style preferences, and issues that need to be addressed.

  • Using Word's Track Changes

    Two documents give first-time Track Changes users instructions for dealing with the edits and a document they can use as practice.
