Line Editing
In all flavours of editing, the goal of an editor is to make a writer’s work the best it can be, so that the content is consumable and understandable for the reader.
Line editing works on the flow, readability, style and tone of your writing. I will look for overused words, run on sentences, bland or confusing language, and I will make or suggest changes to improve the structure, clarity, pacing, and impact of your work.
Deliverables: a marked up Word document with Track Changes, and a 2-3 page editorial assessment that reviews your writing strengths and development opportunities.
From $0.065 AUD per word ($65 per 1000 words)
Copy Editing
Copy editing addresses your writing at a technical level. I will correct errors in spelling, punctuation, syntax, and grammar, and ensure consistency and accuracy of characters and timelines.
In non-fiction and academic work, I will ensure consistency of elements such as numbering, hyphenation, fonts, capitalisation etc. I will also check references for accuracy, and identify ambiguous or incorrect statements for review.
Deliverables: a marked up Word document with Track Changes, and a detailed style sheet capturing vital information about the content, formatting, and style preferences of the work.
From $0.055 AUD per word ($55 per 1000 words)
Proofreading
Usually the final step before your work is released for publication, this service is for writers needing a final check for errors or typesetting issues. I will check every line and word to catch and correct errors in spelling, punctuation, usage, and formatting.
Deliverables: a marked up PDF addressing any final typos in your manuscript.
$0.035 AUD per word ($35 per 1000 words - min charge $35)
