Editing Services

This is for you if you’ve got words on the page, but they’re just not quite right. Maybe it’s the grammar, maybe it’s the “flow,” or maybe you need someone to diagnose the problem!

Great for publishers, universities, independent authors — really, anyone with written content that could use some refinement.

The editing services I offer are:

  • Developmental editing means I will help you to develop your project to move it forward. Typically, writers seek developmental editing at one of two stages:

    Still ideating. At this early stage, we’ll brainstorm to flesh out your concept, pin down your vision, define your target audience, and map out the structure and features of your project.

    Done with an early draft. I’ll review your complete manuscript and create a plan for you to resolve inconsistencies, flesh out incomplete sections, clarify anything that’s confusing, and generally make the manuscript as strong as it can be.

  • Copyediting is most useful once you’re happy with the “big picture” aspects of your text because this type of editing focuses on making improvements at the sentence (or “line”) level.

    When copyediting your manuscript, I will analyze it sentence by sentence and make suggestions to improve readability, clarity, accuracy, and/or consistency. I will also correct errors in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar.
