With the changes in the publishing industry, writers can now place their books in the hands of readers in a shorter time. This does not mean short-circuiting the editing process. Quality is important. That’s why writers need the help of a wordsmith. 

Get efficient service tailored to your needs

Content/Developmental/Substantive Edit - The first step in taking your novel from raw material to finished product. This process ensures that all the crucial elements are in place - plot and character development, point of view, proper story structure, setting, style, dialogue, conflict issues, atmosphere, mood, and tone. In short, your story has to form a cohesive whole.

Copy/Line Edit - A detailed examination of your manuscript—before it is formatted—which is intended to enhance the story. The manuscript will be checked for grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. The focus will be on improving the flow of the narrative, the language, pacing, storyline, checking the meaning of words and terms, as well as consistency throughout the manuscript. Fact-checking, style, and redundancy issues will also be covered.

Proofreading - The final step before publication. At this stage, the manuscript should have been through content and copy edit. Proofing entails reading through and making corrections to the completed manuscript, checking for typographical and grammatical errors, punctuation, and that the text is accurate and properly formatted.
