Do you have a second draft of your novel?
Is this the second book in a series?
Has your work been evaluated thoroughly by a critique group?
Then you are ready to have the structure of your writing revised with a line edit.

Line editing is the first stage of copy editing, during which your editor will work to analyze the way your book is written, rather than what you’ve written. This stage includes:

• Weeding out redundancies
• Showing versus telling
• Issues with tense
• Shifts in point of view and perspective
• Cliches
• Sentence variation
• Dialogue
• Spelling
• Grammar
• Punctuation use
• Paragraph length
• Scene transitions
• Fact-checking
• Small scale plot and character problems

Cost: .015 cents per word.
Turnaround time: one to two weeks, depending on length of the manuscript.

Changes made in line editing include both comments in margins as well as track changes in Word. At the end of the day, your book is your own, and you have the right to both approve or deny any changes we make.

Editors are available by email for any follow-up questions throughout the process, as well as after. Whether you have a question about the publishing process or want to discuss your ideas to improve your novel, we are here for you every step of the way.

All first-time clients will receive a complimentary sample edit for the first five pages of your manuscript. This allows our team to insure your book receives the level of editing required at this stage in its journey. We strongly encourage requesting samples from any editor, so you can be sure they’re the right choice for you.

Custom payment plans area available for every service we provide. We understand that publishing is a long term financial commitment, and are happy to work with you to make the cost of putting out your next book a little easier on your budget.
