Summary
Full line editing (aka copy editing) service
As part of this service, I edit and proofread your content word-for-word for:
Spelling
Grammar
Syntax (sentence structure)
Punctuation
Tone
Style
Expression
Redundancy
Repetition.
I use tracked changes in Word (and similar tools on other platforms) to mark each and every change for you to accept or reject as you see fit. Of course, if you'd prefer to see some changes/major changes only, we can discuss that as well.
I also use comments to explain my changes, and/or to provide other feedback wherever needed, for example, where I recommend content be moved around, deleted, etc.
What's included
Marked-up content
You will receive a marked-up version of your manuscript (and a separate 'clean' copy if you wish). I can work in: - Microsoft Word - GoogleDocs - Scrivener - Overleaf - Adobe PDF (for openness, PDF is more time consuming to mark up; providing a version of your content using any of the formats above will mean I can work more efficiently, saving you time and money).
