Getting publish-ready.
Congratulations! Finishing your manuscript is a huge achievement. Your next step is to get your work professionally edited. Why? Editors are publishing experts. We know how to ensure your writing is consistent and your meaning and intentions for your audience clear, all while ensuring your tone and voice are kept intact.
Some examples of what editing can include (but is not limited to):
Fixing typos, spelling mistakes and grammar.
Standardizing capitalization, hyphenation, punctuation, numbers, abbreviations, quotes, lists and references (according to a house style or style guide).
Refining usage, diction, sentence structure, transitions, and paragraphing.
Ensuring accuracy and fact-checking.
As an editor I am aiming to make the manuscript meet the readers needs, achieve its purpose, and sound like the best possible version of your writing.
However, I offer suggestions and ideas. You make the final decisions on which changes get implemented.
The editorial services I offer are copy editing, stylistic editing, and proofreading.
What exactly are copy editing, stylistic editing, and proofreading? What do they involve? Which service is the right one for your document?
What is the process that you and I will go through? How will these edits actually get done?
