About this service
Summary
You have content and you need it to be proofread or copyedited for voice, tone, syntax, and flow not just grammar. From blog posts to actual books. You'll receive professional-level copyediting or developmental edit of your content from trained professionals with over 5 years of experience.
Copyediting:
Looks at the work on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, while attending to voice, tone, syntax, flow, wordiness, spelling, grammar, and author intent.
The goal of copyediting is to ensure the piece of copy (or content) is concise, readable, and adheres to the publication's style manual and guidelines.
Developmental:
Looks at the big picture over arching element of craft: structure & plot, worldbuilding, characters, themes and prose.
The goal of a developmental edit (DE) is to ensure that the bones and big picture of a piece flow and make for a compelling story readers can't put down. It's also a great place to get some positive cheering on from someone when the writing gets tough
