About this Gig

This level of editing improves tone, flow, clarity, and language use. It includes:


  • Rewording awkward phrasing
  • Eliminating redundancies
  • Adjusting sentence structure
  • Refining pacing and rhythm
  • Flagging inconsistencies
  • Verifying statement accuracy
  • Preserving writer voice


Line editing does NOT address major plot or structural issues, nor does it correct mechanical errors. Note that this is the only level of editing that allows for substantial rewriting of phrases, sentences, and paragraphs as needed.


You'll receive two copies of your edited manuscript: one displaying every change and comment I've made using Track Changes, and a second copy with my changes applied but the comments still visible. That way, you can easily find and address any issues.


DISCLAIMER: All edits are merely suggestions, and as the author, it's your choice whether or not to implement any changes.

Delivery style preference
