I will copy edit for grammar, sentence structure, cohesion, flow, and sensitivity issues. For each change I make, I will offer a 2-3 sentence explanation for why I think it should be made, and what other options you have if you wish to take the piece in a different direction. I will also provide you a written evaluation concerning any plot holes, pacing, or character development issues I noticed while reading your piece.
What is Copy Editing?
Copy editing is when an editor goes through your written work line by line, cleaning up your sentences and the overall structure of the piece.
It is a much more in-depth process than proofreading (only a light skim for grammar or formatting issues) and can completely transform a piece of writing.
Any rewriting done in copy editing will be for cleaning up sentence structure only. I will not be changing major plot points, only providing detailed feedback about my suggestions for how to make them more cohesive.
