Line Editing & Proof Reading
For when you need an outside eye to help you shape your ideas into clear, articulate form.
Our focus will be on developing your narrative arc, seeking a clean throughline, and concision, so as to amplify your intent. My aim is to fully understand the concepts of your work, so as to support you in producing a powerful, effective draft.
Your draft is looking good! You feel confident about the content - it tells the story you want it to tell, delivers all the information you want to impart. But perhaps it's still a bit shaggy; your word count is too high, some of the sentences a little lanky, or you're not absolutely confident about some of the punctuation and syntax. We can now dig into the satisfying fine scalpel work of paring away the errors and excess, honing your creation into a sleek and efficient expression of your ideas and intent.
You've written a stellar new draft: your narrative soars, your ideas are clearly presented, you have articulated your thoughts in neat, logical progression, and perhaps even painted a glorious world with neat strokes of the pen. And now? Well, I'm afraid the fun part's over. Now it's all about the grim nitty gritty of sheer accuracy. Spelling. Grammar. Dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s and making sure none of your superb work is undermined by a misplaced apostrophe. I will help you take that last pedantic little step over the finish line, allowing you to revel in the pleasure of successfully completing your literary journey.
