This type of editing helps shape the story at its core, often involving deep revisions, rearranging sections, or expanding ideas to make the work more compelling, coherent, and impactful. It’s especially valuable for early drafts and authors looking to strengthen their book’s foundation.

Developmental & Structural Editing

Substantive & Line Editing

Copyediting is the process of reviewing and correcting a manuscript to ensure accuracy, clarity, consistency, and style. It focuses on grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, word usage, and adherence to a style guide (like Chicago Manual of Style or APA). A copyeditor also checks for internal consistency—like character names, dates, and facts—ensuring the writing flows smoothly and reads professionally..

What’s included:

• Grammar, punctuation, and spelling corrections

• Sentence structure and clarity improvements

• Consistency checks (style, terminology, formatting)

• Adherence to your chosen style guide

• Final proof of all content (excluding in-depth rewrites)

Pricing: $0.025–$0.03/word

Example: 60,000 words = $1,500 – $1,800

Includes a final proof and one round of revision if needed. Polish your manuscript to perfection with error-free, consistent writing.

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. It involves carefully reviewing the text to catch and correct spelling errors, punctuation mistakes, typos, formatting issues, and minor grammar problems. Unlike deeper editing, proofreading doesn't change the structure or content—it ensures the document is clean, polished, and ready for publication.

Your book deserves to be error-free and easy to read. Polish your book before publishing with professional proofreading. Whether you’re self-publishing or preparing for a publisher, my professional proofreading services ensure that your manuscript is polished and publication-ready.
