Transcription (may contain errors): We offer a variety of editing options to help you refine and polish your manuscript while working within your budget and timeline. Many authors choose to start with a developmental edit. This service is designed for authors with a rough first draft or maybe even an outline and a pile of notes that needs some direction on how to take their manuscript to the next level. We also offer line and copyediting. Line editing is where your editor will provide feedback on overall structure and comprehension, flow, tone, and organization, as well as spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Copyediting is typically the last step before formatting. This is one final review to make sure the spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all totally polished before you move into the design stage. After the book has been professionally formatted, most authors like to have a proofreader go through one last time to catch any pesky typos to make sure the books as close to perfect as possible.
