I will line edit your fiction manuscript for clarity and flow
About this Gig
Does your fiction manuscript contain sentences that feel wordy, repetitive, awkward, or unclear?
I provide line editing to help improve your writing's clarity, rhythm, word choice, dialogue, and paragraph flow while preserving your unique authorial voice.
My line-editing service focuses on:
- Clearer, more natural sentence construction
- Stronger word choice and phrasing
- Reducing unnecessary repetition and wordiness
- Smoother transitions and dialogue flow
- Consistency in tone and writing style
You will receive a Microsoft Word document with suggested changes and comments where helpful, according to the agreed scope.
This service focuses on sentence-level refinement. It does not include developmental analysis of your entire plot or a separate final proofreading pass.
Please share your genre, manuscript word count, and a short sample before ordering a large project so we can confirm that the service fits your needs.
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
What does line editing include?
Line editing focuses on sentence clarity, word choice, rhythm, phrasing, repetition, dialogue, transitions, and consistency of writing style.
Is developmental editing included?
No. Line editing refines the writing itself. A review of plot, story structure, character arcs, or other major story issues requires developmental editing.
Will you preserve my writing style?
Yes. My aim is to improve clarity and readability while respecting your voice, tone, and creative intent.
Do you also proofread the manuscript?
This service focuses on line-level refinement. A separate final proofreading pass is not included unless we agree on it in advance.
What file format should I send?
Please send a Microsoft Word (.docx) file so suggested edits and comments can be reviewed easily.
Can you edit my entire novel?
The standard packages have fixed word limits. Please contact me before ordering if your manuscript is longer so that we can agree on a suitable scope, price, and delivery time.
