Manuscript editing Services
Developmental editing:
The development of the story, theme, plot, and characters. This is where I analyze the complete structure of your manuscript to determine its highs and lows. This phase includes a developmental letter sheet that provides information on every front. Alongside a chapter-by-chapter analysis sheet.
Copy & Line editing:
This phase of editing is intended to meticulously comb through each sentence to improve the content's quality without altering its meaning. In simpler terms, it digs into the nitty-gritty.
Proofreading:
Proofreading is the final review of your work to ensure any errors are caught before release. Grammar, punctuation, plot holes, and the fine details of the story.
