Manuscript Evaluations

Before jumping into a full edit, a Manuscript Evaluation may be the best starting option for you. I will read your entire manuscript and provide a report listing the strengths and weaknesses and my suggestions for improvement overall and chapter by chapter. I will also include your manuscript with comments and annotations (not edits), and we’ll hold a debrief meeting. The Manuscript Evaluation focuses on your work’s high-level structure, story, and style so you can feel confident in moving forward with the level of editing it needs.

Developmental Editing

A developmental edit focuses on improving the larger issues of flow, clarity, voice, readability, and organization. A developmental edit does not get into the fine details of correcting errors but looks at the big content issues first. As a fresh set of expert eyes, I can offer comments and suggestions to help you revise your manuscript so the content is more engaging, clear, and organized.

Copyediting/Line Editing

A copyedit or line edit involves reviewing your manuscript line by line to improve the flow, smooth out the syntax, and create a more engaging sentence structure while maintaining the author’s voice and intent. It includes edits for style consistency, fact-checking as needed, and correcting errors of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. I aim for your work to come across as brilliant, engaging, and accurate.

Proofreading

A proofread takes place at the last stage of printing or publishing. I review the final copy of your manuscript and correct errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, tense, formatting, and style inconsistency. I provide you with a clean, accurate document, ready to share with your audiences.
