Line Editing *

includes copy editing & proofreading

Usual price, USD:

$0.02 (2c) 

per word

No genre restrictions apply.

I'll identify and correct:

1. wrong or repetitive word usage

2. cliches that don't work

Copy Editing *

includes proofreading

Usual price, USD:

$0.015 (1½c) 

per word

No genre restrictions apply.

I'll make sure that your self-edited draft is clear, concise, and consistent, and free of 'silly' mistakes.

This includes:

1. grammar, spelling, and punctuation

2. typos

3. standardising things like capitalisation and use of hyphens

4. basic fact-checking, such as historical dates

5. making sure the basic formatting is correct: things like paragraph spacing, indents, font, and so on. NOTE that this does not replace professional book formatting.

Proofreading *

Usual price, USD:

$0.01 (1c) 

per word

No genre restrictions apply.

I'll use the proofreading exercise to find and correct any last grammatical errors, including spelling and punctuation.

This usually takes place either after the line editing is complete, or when the professional book formatting is finished, to make sure that every aspect of the grammar is perfect.

I include both, so I'll proofread your manuscript twice.
