Line Editing
What it is?
Line editing is where your manuscript gains polish in language, style, and readability. Unlike developmental editing, which tackles big-picture issues, line editing zooms in to refine your prose at the sentence and paragraph level, enhancing clarity, flow, and voice. With this service, each line of your manuscript will come to life, resulting in a narrative that’s clear, engaging, and impactful.
When to choose line editing?
If you feel confident in the structure and development of your story but want to refine your language and improve readability, line editing is a great next step. This service is ideal for authors who want to polish their manuscript’s voice and style. Ask yourself:
Are my sentences clear and expressive?
Does the language flow naturally, drawing readers in?
Is my writing style consistent with my intended tone and genre?
If you’re looking for a service that elevates your writing’s impact without additional structural changes, line editing is perfect.
Process
Our line editing process offers comprehensive attention to language and readability through two detailed read-throughs, with one opportunity for author revisions:
First Read-Through: You’ll receive a marked-up copy with inline comments and suggestions for improving language clarity, tone, and sentence flow. We’ll address issues like word choice, structure, and consistency to make your manuscript shine.
Author Revisions: You’ll have an opportunity to review the feedback and make adjustments to reflect your unique voice and vision.
Final Read-Through: After your revisions, we’ll conduct a second pass, focusing on polishing and clarifying any lingering language issues, ensuring a refined and cohesive manuscript.
What you will get?
With our line editing service, you’ll receive a manuscript that flows beautifully and resonates with readers through enhanced clarity, tone, and style. As part of our comprehensive editing approach, you’ll also benefit from light developmental feedback on areas that could further strengthen your story’s impact. This ensures your manuscript isn’t only polished in language and style but also sharpened in places where a few small adjustments can make a big difference.

Copyediting
What it is?
Copyediting is the essential finishing touch, focused on perfecting grammar, punctuation, syntax, and consistency throughout your manuscript. Unlike line editing, which hones style and flow, or proofreading, which is a last check for minor errors, copyediting is an in-depth polish ensuring language standards are met and your manuscript is error-free. It’s the final, professional pass to eliminate any distractions for your readers before publication.
When to choose copyediting?
Copyediting is ideal if you’re satisfied with your manuscript’s flow and style but need a thorough review to catch any remaining issues. This service is perfect for authors wanting a polished, publication-ready manuscript. Consider copyediting if:
You need an expert eye on spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Consistency across names, formatting, and tone matters for a cohesive read.
You want to eliminate distractions for a seamless, professional reader experience.
If these points resonate, copyediting will provide the polished finish your manuscript deserves.
Process:
Our copyediting service includes two meticulous read-throughs to ensure precision and consistency, with adjustments made for readability and flow:
Initial Review: We begin with a comprehensive first pass, focusing on grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and consistency across tone, formatting, and language. During this read, we address sentence clarity and flow as needed, ensuring each sentence is polished for smooth readability.
Final Proof: After you’ve reviewed the initial copyedit, we conduct a second read-through to catch any lingering inconsistencies or minor issues. This final pass refines your manuscript for a professional presentation, ensuring it’s clean, cohesive, and ready for readers or submission.
What you will get?
With our copyediting service, your manuscript will undergo a thorough review for language accuracy, consistency, and professional polish, ensuring it’s ready to meet high industry standards. Whether you’re bringing a well-crafted draft from a developmental editor or a seasoned, polished manuscript of your own, our copyediting will eliminate any remaining errors and align your work to your vision. This service provides that last layer of finesse, so your story is presented at its very best.
