Line editing

Sanding down the edges

Line editing looks at a manuscript on a sentence level. It comes after developmental editing (when larger structural edits are made).

During a line edit, I’ll review your manuscript for word choice, phrasing, and style. I’ll stand in for your readers, flagging places where you could switch up your sentence structure, vary your descriptions, and smooth your flow—all while respecting your vision and voice. You’ll get my concrete advice on how to make your manuscript concise, consistent, and clear.

Rates start at $0.04/word.
