I will copy edit your manuscript and ensure it is error free
About this Gig
Worried you have a compelling story but your poor grammar and punctuation are going to keep readers from falling in love?
A copy edit is designed to fix technical errors like comma splices, using "form" instead of "from," and mispelled character names. Although seemingly minor mistakes, these forgotten grammar rules and swapped punctuation marks can ruin the experience for readers and damage your reputation.
My copy editing packages highlight writing habits that may hold you back. I will point out what errors you're making and how to fix them, so you can take what you learn and self-edit the rest of your manuscript.
Being able to fix copy editing mistakes yourself will be extremely beneficial if you self-publish your book without an editor, and it will also make your editing costs lower if you choose to hire a professional.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
(And if you're interested in a copy edit of a full-length novel, please reach out, and I'll create a custom quote for your project.)

FAQ
Isn't a copy edit a more expensive proofread?
A copy edit occurs before a proofread, and is designed to catch the majority of technical errors. Meanwhile, a proofread is only meant to catch the few issues that slip through. A copy edit can fix thousands of errors, while a proofread should only handle a few hundred.
How can I self-edit my book with your copy editing comments?
A copy edit will show you common errors that you're making consistently. For example, I might tell you that you have multiple instances of comma splices. I'll explain what a comma splice is and how to spot them, which you can then apply to the rest of your book.
What if my book is longer than the word counts listed for your gigs?
That's totally OK. If you want a copy edit of your entire novel, simply reach out, and I'll create a quote for you. My gigs are geared towards authors on a budget and those who want to dip in to the world of professional editing before making a large financial commitment.
