As a book editor…
I support authors through the editing process by providing feedback and taking the time to answer questions. My goal is to carefully edit your manuscript and help you reach your goal to publish your book!
What is Structural Editing?
A structural edit examines the overall manuscript for organization, flow, clarity, and content consistency.
Structural editing may require the editor to reorganize content or restructure paragraphs to improve the writing flow.
My rate for structural editing is 3₵ per word.
What is Line Editing?
Line editing reviews a manuscript at the sentence level. This type of editing examines the writing style and language used while maintaining the author’s voice. These are examples of what a line editor is looking for:
- Words or sentences that are overused
- Redundancy
- Run-on sentences
- Sentences or paragraphs that can be tightened
- Changes in tone or flow
A line editor may also suggest using words or phrases that help clarify or enhance the writing.
My rate for line editing is 2.5₵ per word.
What is Copy Editing?
Copy editing aims to ensure the correctness, accuracy, consistency, and completeness of a manuscript. A copy editor focuses on the following:
- Grammar
- Spelling
- Capitalization
- Punctuation
- Syntax
- Factual errors
A copy editor will also ensure the consistency of hyphenation and number treatment throughout the manuscript, referring to a chosen style guide (for example, the Chicago Manual of Style) to ensure all of the above.
My rate for copy editing is 2₵ per word.
What is Proofreading?
Proofreading is the last step in the editing process before publishing. It is done after the editing has been completed and the manuscript has been formatted. A proofreader will correct any remaining errors in the manuscript. The proofreader will also compare the final edited Word document to the formatted manuscript to ensure there are no missing pages or awkward page breaks. Typically, the proofreading is done by someone other than the copy editor.
My rate for proofreading is 1.5₵ per word.
