publishing your best work

COPY EDITING

đź‘ŚGrammar, spelling, and punctuation errors are checked for consistency and correctness. Clarify sentence structures, the coherency of organization is noted and suggestions are made. Localize language to standard English.

👌Copyediting can be performed at three levels—light, medium, and heavy. Determining which level is done at the outset of the project and by mutual agreement with the client.

LINE EDITING

đź‘ŚSometimes called content or a substantive editing, the focus of line editing is flow and language usage. Clients looking for help improving organization, style, or language smoothing will require a line edit. Line editing is a passion of mine. Clients appreciate that I make suggestions that prioritize the preservation of their voice while enhancing reader clarity.

COACHING

đź‘ŚSometimes clients get stuck with the process of writing or with a project itself. A coach is a sounding board or a motivator. Clients trust me to listen and creatively solve problems while we devise a plan together to stay on track with writing and publishing goals.

Resources

My academic clients specifically have benefited from workshops and tools I have adapted from Wendy Laura Belcher writing advice for academics.
New clients find Hiring an Editor: A Guide for New Authors from the EFA, helpful in deciding the level of editing they might need.  Having common language to discuss different types of editing has helped my clients ask for what they need without surprises or disappointment.
