Proofing

Proofing is the final stage of editing. Once you're satisfied with your prose, proofing checks the manuscript for technical errors. We meticulously find and correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. We will also flag any unintentional tense or perspective shifts that may have slipped through, and any inconsitincies or continuity errors with the narrative itself. (For example a character having a cup of tea one line and then a cup of coffee the next).

Line Editing

Line editing is a perfect option for writers who have written their manuscripts and are pleased with the overall structure of the narrative, but are now wanting to ensure that their prose is top tier. When choosing a line edit, you will recieve comprehensive assistance with beautifying your word choice and sentence construction to ensure optimum flow, clarity, and artistry in every paragraph, as well as correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling, all while ensuring your personal style is kept in-tact. Manuscripts will be checked for unwanted tense and perspective shifts. In addition to the technicals of your language, you will also recieve suggestions on how and where to improve scene descriptions, characterisation, theme, and narrative structure where applicable. Inconsistiencies, plot holes, and leaps of logic will also be highlighted. Your finished line edit is provided as a word document with comprehensive in-text comments and tracked edits.

Developmental Editing

Developmental editing is ideal for writers who are earlier in their writing journey. This edit has minimal references to a story's prose but is entirely focused on its overall structure. We focus on developing a book's overall theme, strengthening characterisation, identifying and strengthening character and story arcs, streamlining plot structure, perfecting narrative pace, and eliminating plot holes and inconsistencies. We also work with you to ensure your work has a distinct narrative voiceWhere the genre requires it, we also give comprehensive advice on effective world building and where this can be strengthened. Your finished developmental edit is provided as a comprehensive document with chapter by chapter and and overall feedback.
