Copyediting
Copyediting is a thorough, line-by-line look at your work. I offer two types of copyediting: basic (grammar and spelling) and heavy (word choice, voice, and grammar/spelling). Heavy copy editing is more geared towards authors looking to strengthen word choice and voice.
If you’re unsure what your manuscript might require, contact me! Consultations are free.
