Our content editors view your manuscript as a whole. They focus on issues such as these:

text organization | transitions | readability | style issues | language fit to audience | development of ideas | paragraph and chapter arrangement |
section headers | focus | identification of missing source information | verification of Bible text and references of quoted scriptures | insertion of any missing front matter

Fiction editing also includes checking these issues:

Character and plot development | consistency of characters | point of view | showing, not telling | believable dialogue and plot

Our line editors do just what the name implies. Line by line they tighten, smooth, and clarify, checking mechanics, such as:

spelling | punctuation | grammar |consistency | best word choice | sentence structure | consistent tenses | paragraph and sentence length | cliches | unnecessary modifiers | repeated words and phrases | consistent formatting of footnotes or end notes

Your editor will make the recommended changes using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes function.

You will be able to view the changes and reject or question any you don’t want.

Our professional proofreading services provide a final review of your manuscript before printing. We check for consistency, typos, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. This step should follow editing. If we format your manuscript, one of our proofreaders will look over the manuscript once more after formatting.
