Copyediting

What is an editorial review?

Copyediting is the most detailed form of editing I offer. It involves going through the manuscript line by line, correcting any errors relating to:

  • Spelling
  • Grammar
  • Punctuation
  • Repetition
  • Inconsistincies

Copyediting also involves making suggestions relating to the tone and flow of sentences to help improve the impact and readibility.


What is the process?

  • I will carry out a free 1,000 word sample edit
    • This gives me insight into the level of copyediting needed and also shows you how I work, to ensure you’re happy with my editing style
  • After completing the sample, I can give you an accurate quote for the full copyediting service
  • Once I have the full manuscript, I’ll make the corrections to the errors and suggest improvements to sentences to improve the flow

How much does it cost?

  • It varies depending on the level of copyediting needed, the amount of corrections and suggestions can vary.
    • This is why I carry out the free 1,000 copyediting sample
  • To give you an idea, it can be between £0.01 and £0.015 per word

My editing always comes from a place of honesty and encouragement. My aim is to help writers get their books to the best level they can be.
