SERVICES

Service will be tailored to your needs and budget.

Basic copy editing 

This service is appropriate for projects that require attention to basic writing mechanics. I will work through the entire text, correcting errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and word choice. This level of editing is not appropriate for projects that require greater attention to sentence structure, organization, and content.

​

Substantive copy editing 

Some projects require a higher level of editorial attention than basic copy editing provides. In addition to correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammar, I will make specific recommendations to clarify meaning, order, logic, and continuity; promote consistency in spelling, capitalization, and usage and smooth the flow of the text.

​

Premium copy editing 

This service is recommended for projects that need extensive structural and organizational work at the word, sentence, and paragraph levels. In addition to addressing mechanics, I will make recommendations to improve the project’s overall composition and strengthen technical elements in the writing. This more intensive edit includes fact-checking, page numbers, page measurements, titles, and headings. This service is the ideal choice for non-native English speakers and some first-time authors.

For book-length projects, I provide a three-page sample (12pt. type and double spaced), so you can see the edits you can expect to receive.
