Line editing is when we review your manuscript on the sentence and paragraph level and address awkward or unclear writing, wordiness, redundancies, word choice, point of view, telling versus showing, and more. This is not a copyedit, but obvious errors will be corrected. With a line edit, we aim to elevate your writing to an artful level and get your book ready for the next step.

NOTE: If you plan to self-publish, your book will need a copyedit and a proofread before publishing it. If your book requires a substantial rewrite, you might be interested in ghost editing. Just inquire!
