Developmental Editing.
A developmental editor looks at the big picture of your completed manuscript and provides a line-by-line analysis in Track Changes, including comments on granular issues like the storyline, plot, point of view, structure, style, usage, and revision suggestions. This service includes one round of edits and a 1-hour consultation with your editor.
This service is for authors who have not self-edited or for whom English is a second language. This step precedes copy editing.

Copy Editing.
A copy editor fixes errors–grammar, mechanics, syntax, spelling, punctuation, usage, diction–and edits for consistency, clarity, and/or professionalism. This phase is for authors with a finished manuscript or document who have completed self-editing rounds and need a keen reviewer. It is also for businesses and academics who want to ensure that their project’s messaging is polished, clear and consistent.
