Line Editing
For style, flow, and sentence-level polish
If your manuscript is complete but needs help with how it reads, a line edit is for you. This is a deep edit that focuses on how each sentence sounds — improving clarity, flow, rhythm, and tone. We’ll smooth out awkward phrases, trim repetition, and make sure your voice shines through. This is ideal if you’re happy with your structure, but want the writing itself to feel fluid, professional, and engaging.

Copy Editing
For grammar, consistency, and correctness
Copy editing is the nuts-and-bolts stage that checks your manuscript for technical accuracy. It covers grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency in style and formatting. This level of editing ensures your writing is correct, clean, and ready to publish — without changing your voice or ideas.

Proofreading
For a final check before publishing
Proofreading is the last step before your book goes to print or to eBook format. We’ll carefully read through the text and catch any remaining typos, small errors, or formatting slips. This is not an edit for rewriting or rewording — it’s a meticulous quality check to make sure your final draft is truly final.
