The Copyedit
Your writing will get the attention it deserves with two full rounds of my careful and thorough copyediting.
THE COPYEDIT IS FOR WRITERS WHO . . .
Want someone to comb through their manuscript for
- Awkward sentences
- Grammar, punctuation & spelling errors
- Typos
- Repetition & redundancy
- Inconsistencies & contradictions
- Serious factual errors
- Potentially harmful language
Want some extra attention paid to
- The rhythm & flow of their sentences
- Their characters’ conversations
WHAT YOU GET:
- 2 full rounds of copyediting, with an author review after the first
- In-line edits using Track Changes so that you can accept or reject each revision
- Comments, questions & suggestions in the margins
- An editor’s report that includes overall comments, issues & suggestions
- A style sheet documenting capitalization, spelling, punctuation, grammar rules, style preferences, and character & place names
- A half-hour Zoom meeting to discuss the edits, after the first or second round of editing (optional)
THE COPYEDIT costs $0.025 per word.
