EDITING

Verb tense, apostrophes, misspellings, sentence fragments, comma splices, if any of these terms make your nervous, you need the help of an experienced editor.

​

In writing, as in life, errors happen to everyone. The editing process is the most important step in book publishing.  Anyone who has been working on a manuscript for a long time is much less likely to spot grammatical mistakes than a reader approaching the manuscript for the first time. Seek a fresh set of eyes that can identify errors that the writer's eyes are likely to miss, or that can offer feedback regarding stylistic choices and organization.

Developmental Editing helps you fine tune the sequence and the order of your book. Have you presented the information in a format that makes sense to the reader; does each piece of information build upon previous material? 

​

Proofreading ensures that correct grammar, spelling and punctuation are used and that all your facts agree with one another. A proofreader will also make sure that there is no missing information in your book.

​

Copy Editing can help you turn a decent book into a highly marketable success by making your manuscript lively and enjoyable to read. The copyeditor reviews the final manuscript for grammar, spelling, and consistency. He or she corrects errors and questions anything that isn't clear in the text.
