What you will get with Editing:
I will read through your document or manuscript once, looking for spelling/typos, grammatical errors, punctuation goofs, ease of reading, word spacing increase/decrease suggestions, and word spacing errors (formatting).
I will do some fact-checking (historical fiction/memoir only), and keep my eye out for character placement, scenery, plot line, and timeline confusion or holes and repeated word use.
Then, I will send that copy back to you with my suggestions and edits, for you to move forward with. We will schedule a time for you to return it to me for a final look, where I will do it all again to make sure that any changes made were as you meant them to be, and I will send it back to you!
We can use Microsoft Word: Track Changes or Google Docs Suggestions.

How do you know when your book or document is ready for editing?
You have read it and edited it yourself, at least twice, and you feel there is not much more you need to change. This is key. When we create something, our hearts and brains are committed to it; connected to it on a deeper level. We know where the story starts, goes, and ends. But someone from the outside has not! That is where the magic on my end happens! I can edit your words with a fresh set of unbiased eyes and a curious mind.
How do you know when your book or document is ready for proofreading?
After you have made any changes an editor may have suggested, and it is in its final formatting. You are ready to hit send, print, or post! But send it to me first! You have read the newsletter, blog, article, graphic, or caption several times, and you know what it is saying. A fresh set of eyes with a curious mind will catch things! I love the fast pace of proofreading for a business!
