Line Edit

A line edit is a substantive service that examines your plot, character arcs, pacing, and (for nonfiction) arguments for logical consistency and coherence. In-text suggestions help you tighten and improve your prose, syntax, and sentence structure to ensure your meaning comes across clearly and concisely. Facts are double-checked for accuracy. This service is not a replacement for copy editing.

What You Get: Two passes of line editing, an author revision period, email discussion with the editor, and one free phone consultation with the editor if needed. A fully edited manuscript in Microsoft Word Track Changes, including in-line comments, and an editorial guide with a full manuscript timeline and revision suggestions and resources.
