“But what kind of editing does my manuscript need? And what’s the difference between a copy editor and a proofreader, anyways?”

I can help you figure that out, too.

Here's my handy “Stages of Editing” cheat sheet:

Stages of Editing:

Developmental editing – (aka structural editing); I help you assess and shape the material to improve the organization and content. This is the big picture, first stage of the editing process.

Stylistic editing – While maintaining your authorial voice, I edit to help clarify meaning, ensure coherence and flow, and refine the language.

Copy editing – I ensure the correctness, accuracy, consistency, and completeness of your written document. This is the stage of editing that most people think of when they hear the word editing; I carefully comb the manuscript for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and factual errors.

Proofreading – I examine the material in its final format to correct any remaining errors in both text and visual elements. This is the all-important last stage of the editing process.

My writing services include:
