This is the “big picture” edit. It focuses on the structure, content, and overall flow of your book. I assess things like plot, pacing, character development (for fiction), clarity, and message consistency (for nonfiction). I offer suggestions to strengthen the core of your manuscript.

Line editing focuses on how your words communicate your message. I revise sentence structure, word choice, and tone to ensure clarity, flow, and style. It’s not about fixing grammar (that comes next) — it's about refining your writing voice and improving readability.

Copyediting catches grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and consistency issues. It ensures your manuscript follows standard writing rules and style conventions, helping it look clean and professional.

This is the final polish before publishing. I catch small errors that slipped through earlier rounds — typos, punctuation mistakes, formatting inconsistencies — ensuring your manuscript is publication-ready.

I prepare your manuscript layout for publishing (digital and/or print), applying standard fonts, headings, spacing, margins, page numbers, and styles appropriate for your chosen publishing platform (e.g., Amazon KDP, IngramSpark).
