Copyediting <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Copyediting is a word-by-word edit of spellings, punctuation, grammar (US\/UK), usage, and syntax. It will be done using the Track Changes feature in an MS Word or Google Doc file. I will not look over the plot, story structure, characterization, settings, etc. during copyediting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proofreading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Correction of typos, spellings, punctuation, layout issues, and inconsistencies. Proofreading comes at the end of the publication cycle when a manuscript is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta Reading <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Detailed feedback on your draft. I’ll leave comments throughout the document and highlight any inconsistencies or issues. I’ll also provide a report addressing the plot, writing, characters, setting or world-building, and any other suggestions I might have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
