Copy Editing
Copy Editing focuses strictly on punctuation and grammar.
This option should be done after developmental editing.
I will also ensure that the sentences are as effective as they can be. I work line-by-line, tightening up sentence structure so the language is sharp and clear. I will look closely at how a writer’s word choice and syntax contribute to the tone or emotion of a piece of writing. I will leave plenty of comments and suggestions to ensure your story is the best it can be.
Please note that copy editing will not leave you with suggestions or comments on how to tighten up your plot, character development, or storyline. That is done in developmental editing. I will simply ensure that your manuscript is error-free.
* If your manuscript is unintentionally written in both first person and third person, I will charge an extra $150 to convert it over to either or. This makes editing extremely difficult and can result in longer turnaround times.
Copy Editing turnaround time depends on length and editor workload at the time of redemption. Please be sure to inbox me or email me to talk about timelines. Please plan accordingly, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Manuscripts must be sent in Word documents.
After purchase, please email your manuscript to: Author.Cyn.Alexander@gmail.com
