Types of Editing Services I Offer
Formatting
This service is a lifesaver when you don’t have the time or technical expertise to format your manuscript correctly. It’s beneficial if you’re seeking to submit a manuscript or book proposal, self-publish a novel or non-fiction book, or write a dissertation for your academic studies. It can save you hours and the headache of figuring out the formatting yourself. The service takes the headache out of the equation by formatting your manuscript correctly, so you can rest assured that all the formatting requirements are met.
Editor’s Analysis
I look closely at your manuscript and use my expertise to assess what services you may need to make it even better, even if you’re unsure what those services might be. I go beyond just the superficial, delving into the content and structure of your manuscript to determine which services could provide the most significant benefit.
Proofreading
Proofreading is what most people think of when they think of editing services. When I proofread, I carefully analyze your manuscript, looking for spelling, grammar, formatting, and typos errors. I pay special attention to the details, ensuring that your work is free of mistakes and looks professional. I also ensure that the formatting is consistent throughout and that every line of text is visible.
Bibliographic Editing
Bibliographic Editing is an integral part of the research process. This means verifying that every source used in the project is appropriately cited and listed in the footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography. This includes ensuring the sources are in the correct format (APA, MLA, CMS, etc.) and that no sources are missed or not accurately referenced. Plus, all the information in each citation must be correct and up-to-date, which is very important for your research’s credibility.
Copy Editing
Copy Editing often involves scanning your writing for grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation errors. It is also essential to ensure that your manuscript is uniform, understandable, and concise. Additionally, I look for any inaccuracies in facts or figures and any potential ambiguities that could affect the overall quality of the writing. Furthermore, I review any redundancies to ensure your work is as concise as possible.
Fact-Checking
Fact-checking is an essential part of writing. I ensure that all facts and data in your manuscript are accurate, up-to-date, and cited correctly. Researching and verifying the information in your project is essential to avoid spreading false or misleading claims. Fact-checking builds credibility and trust with readers and protects you from legal issues.
Content Editing
My content editing services assess both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. I look at all the details, including characters, plot points, and argument structure. I then ensure all elements are connected, and your story makes sense – like making sure your main character’s eye color doesn’t suddenly change without a good reason. Its goal is to ensure the story is consistent and cohesive for your readers.
Substantive or Developmental Editing
This is the most comprehensive of the editing services I offer. This form of editing goes beyond just copy editing and proofreading, delving into the structure and marketability of the work, as well as focusing on the plot (for fiction), argument (for non-fiction), and more. It is a collaborative process between the editor and client, requiring active engagement with the material and guidance from the editor. During this process, I will provide feedback and help you develop the work to its fullest potential, ensuring the final product is polished and ready for publication.
Editorial Coaching
Editorial Coaching involves providing the support and guidance you need as you work on your writing, research, and editing projects. This goes beyond developmental editing in that it can include helping you develop your ideas and shape them into a finished product, as well as providing feedback and advice on making your writing the best it can be.
It also involves being a sounding board for questions or concerns and offering encouragement. In addition, I can provide valuable insight into the best strategies to ensure your writing is clear, concise, and grammatically correct. With my help, you can create content that effectively conveys your message and is of the highest quality.
