I will copy edit your book so your voice shines through
Copy Editor
About this Gig
Now that you've finished developmental editing, your book is ready for copy editing!
I will correct:
- grammar
- spelling
- punctuation
- word choice
- syntax
- agreement errors
I'll also verify the consistency of:
- character attributes
- timelines
- geographical details
Any questions I have for you will be queried in the returned MS Word document (using tracking changes) with a clear explanation of the question itself as well as suggested solutions where applicable.
You will receive:
- one copy of your manuscript that includes tracked changes
- one copy with all changes accepted
- a style sheet
Your style sheet will include a list of all proper nouns in your book as well as lists of your style and spelling preferences where they differ from your style manual of choice. It's a valuable reference to ensure continuity of work if you pass your manuscript on to a proofreader next or when it's time to write your follow-up book.
This service is for a copy edit and isn't suitable if your manuscript still needs developmental or stylistic edits.
Message me directly if you need a custom quote. I look forward to working with you!
