Editing service

You’ve got your words on the page, but you’re feeling uncertain that your voice and story aren’t clear. And your deadline is looming.

But here’s the thing: you’ll never produce YOUR best work if you’re stressed over the quality of your words or anxious about getting the last stages right.

Copy and line editing, or book editing, is where I look closely at your chapters, paragraphs, and sentence structure. I also check the length, logic, flow, and readability.

Not only will I ensure your manuscript is engaging and a real page-turner that your readers can’t put down, but my BONUS style guide and manuscript editorial summary report will take away any overwhelm you’re feeling.

Are you preparing your manuscript for self-publishing?

Let me help you put your best book forward – with confidence.

So, what’s addressed in my manuscript editing service?

My manuscript editing service includes:

• a line-by-line and word-by-word edit from start to finish and everything in between

• a strong focus on readability to ensure your readers stay engaged

• personalised service and utmost care for your words

• Track Changes via Word document

• an editorial summary AND style guide.

My manuscript copyediting service will address the following:

• emphasis on pace and flow, paying particular attention to repetition and overwriting

• ensuring the authenticity of your voice throughout

• checking spelling, grammar, punctuation, hyphenation and capitalisation

• exploring clichés, similes and metaphors, as well as the use of tenses and POV

• paying attention to layout, spacing, formatting, chapter sequencing, and reference checking

• focusing on your dialogue style and punctuation

• ensuring ‘show’ and ‘tell’ techniques are used effectively

• emphasis on ensuring every word serves a purpose.

I provide gentle, constructive and insightful feedback and edits … and a lot of suggestions to improve, not change, your story. If I see or feel something in your manuscript, I’ll comment.

INVESTMENT:

Every manuscript and author is different, therefore price varies based on several factors.

Completing a sample edit will allow me to determine the level of editing required and the time frame for completion and determine if we are a good fit. Sample edits cost $50 for a maximum of 1,000 words from mid-manuscript. This cost will be deducted from your quote should you decide to go ahead with my editing service.

Proofreading service

Proofreading is the final stage before your words are published. I’m the last set of eyes to make sure there are no embarrassing mistakes and to ensure your hard work shines.

Manuscripts, social media posts, websites, blogs, newsletters, online courses, training manuals, ebooks, and assignments all benefit from precise proofreading service.

So, what’s addressed in my proofreading service?

• A line-by-line read-through of the documents to fix any remaining errors missed in previous edits that could distract readers

• consistency checks (fonts, design elements, images)

• consistency checks (capitalisation, hyphenation, personal style)

• checking for typos, spelling errors and homophone errors

• correct paragraph and section breaks

• correction of grammar and punctuation

• adherence to preferences for style

• Track Changes via Word document

BONUS: a Style Guide will be provided

BONUS: If there are any anomalies outside proofreading, I’ll flag them for you. Such as repetition of words/phrases, redundant words and anything else that jumps out 😊

It’ll get that final quality control check with the fresh eyes you’re seeking.
