Here are my services:
Developmental editing - Manuscript is checked to clarify meaning and stylistic editing of language. Help is given to the author to organize their ideas and the structure of the finished project. Where needed, suggestions are made pertaining to character development, plot, writing style, story idea, and characterization. There is no intent to change the author's voice, only to give alternative suggestions.
Line/copy editing - Check for grammatical and spelling errors, querying awkward sentence structure and inconsistencies, and prepare a style sheet. This is done at the manuscript stage prior to typesetting.
Proofreading - Verify correct word breaks, check that all editorial changes were applied, check for typos, and that no spelling or grammar errors were overlooked. This is done at the galley proof stage after the manuscript is typeset.
