Substantive Editing

This is the big picture. As a team, you and I will expose strengths and weaknesses of structure and balance. We will look at plot and subplot(s) as they relate to the structure.

Line Editing

Sometimes known as a stylistic edit. You and I will evaluate consistency of voice, appropriate language, style and fluidity, word choice and content. We focus on keeping our reader engaged. We take into account your mother language as well as the cultural nuances of your background.

Copy Editing

This is the fine print. We’ll look at grammar, punctuation and spelling as they relate to flow and development. As a grammar and language instructor I have developed an eye and ear for the subtleties and nuances of language that enhance a piece of writing and take it to the next level.

Strategy

• An initial consultation.
• Evaluation of the extent and type of work needed on your project.
• Work begins!
