Complete Editing Bundle
Complete editing is the editing process.
This bundle includes:
Developmental Editing
Copy Editing
Proofreading
Developmental editing is the first phase of edits and addresses various story element issues like plot holes, poor character development, confusing dialogue, and any other issues that arise in relation to story elements. It is a vital part of the editing process and should not be skipped. This first step in editing leaves many comments on the document for areas of improvement, suggestions, and tips.
Copy Editing focuses strictly on punctuation and grammar.
This option should be done after developmental editing and is the second phase in the editng process. 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.
* 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.
Proofreading should be done after developmental editing and copy editing are complete and is the last phase in editing. Proofreading is a final review of the manuscript to ensure there aren't any grammatical, spelling, and plot development inconsistencies.
After each phase, I will send the manuscript back and allow the author to make changes as they see fit before moving on to the next phase.
The complete editing bundle can take up to 10 weeks depending on how long the author sits with the manuscript between each phase. It can go quicker or even take longer. Please keep that in mind. 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
*I do offer sample editing up to 5 pages!
