Manuscript Evaluation
Evaluates your story’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s similar to a developmental edit. You will receive a 10+ page editorial letter with specific examples and a plan of action to bring your story to the next level.
This is a great option if you’re working with a budget.
Copyediting
Evolves your story from the ground up. Afterward, it will improve in many areas, including:
- Conscious language
- Dialogue tags
- Grammar
- Inconsistencies
- POV
- Punctuation
- Repetition
- Telling vs. showing
- Tenses
This critical stage helps your story grow.
Proofreading
Hatches your story into a beautiful piece of art. This final stage mends any last-minute grammar mistakes and glaring errors.
Please note that this is the last editing stage. Your work should be thoroughly edited beforehand.
I can’t put into words how grateful I am for my wonderful editor. Together, we are working hard to make my work be the best it can. I have hired her twice, and I’m going to keep going with her as long as I can. It is hard to find chemistry with an editor, but she and I found it. If you need an editor, she is the editor you want!
