Line Editing
Line editing dives deeper than proofreading, focusing on refining your language, style, and consistency. This service is ideal for drafts that are structurally sound but need a more thorough polish to enhance readability and impact. I'll examine your text to improve:
Word choice and conciseness
Sentence structure, flow, and transition
Consistency in spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and numerical representation
Clarity and coherence of your ideas
Tone and voice, ensuring they are appropriate for your audience
Polish, and preserve your voice.
Make your writing smooth, engaging, and easy for your readers to understand, all while preserving your unique voice.
Timeline & Format
For most line editing projects, expect 1-5 pages per hour, or 250-1,250 words per hour. This wide range depends heavily on the density of description, manuscript quality, and desired level of intervention. A 50,000 word document may take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks total, including editing and client communication.
Whether you prefer the ease of cloud-based saving or working locally, you're covered. We can collaborate directly in Google Docs, or you're welcome to send a Microsoft Word document.
