FAQ
What is line editing?
Line editing focuses on improving the clarity, flow, and readability of your writing at the sentence level. It goes beyond grammar checks to enhance style, tone, and structure.
Do you use AI to edit my work?
No. All editing is done manually and carefully by me. I do not rely on AI tools to rewrite or edit your content.
What's a stylesheet
It's a document I create while editing your manuscript to ensure consistency from beginning to end. It records editorial decisions such as spelling, capitalization, hyphenation, punctuation preferences, character names, place names, timeline details, and any unique terminology used in your book.
What is the Chicago Manual of Style?
The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is one of the most widely used style guides in the publishing industry, particularly for books. It provides guidelines for grammar, punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, numbers, citations, and overall editorial consistency.
How is line editing different from proofreading?
Proofreading mainly fixes grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Line editing also improves sentence structure, word choice, and overall readability.
Can you work with non-native English writing?
Yes, I regularly help non-native speakers improve clarity and natural flow in their writing.
What do you need from me before starting?
Just your document and any specific instructions regarding tone, audience, or style preferences.
