I will copyedit your book for grammar and consistency
About this Gig
Your manuscript deserves to be read for its ideas, not interrupted by avoidable grammar and consistency errors. Copyediting focuses on language correctness while protecting your meaning and writing voice.
I will check spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, word usage, and consistency throughout the selected text. I will also correct light sentence issues where needed, without substantially rewriting your style.
You will receive a Word document with Track Changes and a clean copy containing the agreed corrections. If you follow a particular style guide, please tell me before ordering so the scope can be confirmed.
Copyediting does not include a full developmental assessment, extensive stylistic rewriting, or book formatting.
Please upload an editable Word document and provide the word count and book type. For longer manuscripts, contact me before ordering to discuss a custom offer.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Will you substantially rewrite my sentences?
No. This service focuses on correctness and consistency, with light corrections where appropriate. Extensive stylistic improvement belongs in line editing.
Do you provide a clean copy?
Yes. You will receive the marked-up Word file and a clean copy with the agreed corrections applied.
Can you follow my preferred style guide?
Please specify your preferred style guide before ordering. We will confirm the requirements and scope before the work begins.
Can you copyedit a complete book?
Contact me with the total word count and book type for a custom offer on a longer manuscript.
Will you check the plot and character development?
That is outside the scope of copyediting. Those are developmental-editing concerns.
