Achieve Clarity and Consistency

Copyediting

A Copyedit is a meticulous polish of your manuscript, focusing on language, style, voice, consistency, flow, and accuracy. This service involves in-line editing and tracked changes, making it ideal once your manuscript is nearly finalized and won’t undergo significant revisions before querying or publishing.

During a Copyedit, I enhance your unique voice while ensuring clarity and consistency. Whether your prose is lyrical but needs tightening for better pacing, or concise and needing richer world-building, this service smooths and refines your writing. From dialogue tags to ensuring a character’s red lipstick doesn’t mysteriously change color on the next page, I address both the subtleties and substance of your manuscript.

If you’re aiming for a seamless, engaging reading experience that makes your story shine, a Copyedit is the final step before proofreading and publication.
