Line Editing and Copyediting

Copyediting is sentence-level editing with comprehensive, detailed attention to clarity, consistency, and correctness, so readers can easily understand your message without distractions or confusion.

Line editing is sentence- and paragraph-level editing with a focus on readability, style, and tone, so your message is clear, engaging and powerful.

There is some overlap between line editing and copyediting, so if you want me to line edit your book, I’ll combine the two services into one stage of editing. Line editing and copyediting take place after the structure and content of your book are in place and before it is formatted for publication.

I use Microsoft Word’s Track Changes feature so you can see exactly what changes I’ve made and decide if there are any that you don't want to implement. I also use comments to explain why certain changes were made, make additional suggestions, present multiple options, and ask for clarification when needed.
