Manuscript Development and Editing.
Providing editorial services, including developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading, to help authors refine their manuscripts.
Developmental Editing
This is the most comprehensive and in-depth level of editing. A developmental editor looks at the "big picture" elements of your manuscript, such as:
Plot structure and pacing
Character development and consistency
Theme and tone
Point of view and narrative voice
Overall storytelling effectiveness
Developmental editors provide detailed feedback and suggestions to help you strengthen your manuscript's content, structure, and style. They may recommend major revisions, such as reorganizing chapters, cutting or expanding certain sections, or refining character arcs.
Line Editing
Line editing: Also known as stylistic editing, line editing focuses on the manuscript at a sentence and paragraph level. A line editor will review your work for:
Sentence structure and clarity
Word choice and consistency
Dialogue tags and formatting
Paragraph flow and transitions
Grammar, punctuation, and syntax
Line editors help you refine your writing style, ensure clarity and coherence, and eliminate awkward or repetitive phrasing. They may also point out minor inconsistencies or logical errors.
Proofreading
This is the final stage of editing, which happens after your manuscript has been developmentally edited, line edited, and formatted. A proofreader will review your work for:
Typos and spelling errors
Punctuation and grammatical mistakes
Formatting issues (e.g., incorrect margins, font inconsistencies)
Inconsistencies in style or layout
Proofreaders ensure that your manuscript is polished and error-free before it goes to print or is published digitally.
