I will line edit your short story or novel excerpt
Gig Summary
I have ten years of editing experience within the publishing industry. I've offered critique to authors at Talcott Notch Literary Agency, proofread academic journals, and critiqued and proofread short...
Level 2
Has met high performance criteria and has a proven track record for meeting client expectations.
About this Gig
I will line edit for:
- Clarity
- Flow, so that transitions between paragraphs and scenes feel natural and sentences are smooth
- Consistency
- Style, including word choice, voice, and tone
- Pacing within sentences or paragraphs
Line editing focuses on style, not grammar. If you want proofreading, I recommend my Copy Editing and Proofreading gig.
I will edit your manuscript with track changes and provide notes to help you further refine your work. I use Word, but I'm happy to work within another program. For word counts outside the gig parameters, let me know! I want to make your manuscript as amazing as possible, so if there's
anything in particular you want out of a line edit, let's talk!
I read across many genres. My specialization is in speculative fiction, especially anything fantasy-relate. I've published fantasy, folktales, alternate history, and slipstream in multiple semi-pro zines and that's where my current professional editing work lies. I love the etymology, history, and precise yet slippery meaning of words. I want to help you use this weird and wacky language to its fullest extent and help you get your manuscript ready for publication.

FAQ
What's the different between line editing and copy editing?
There is some overlap, but copy editing and proofreading focus more on mechanical errors like punctuation, grammar, and clarity. Line editing focuses more on style.

I had line editing done for about 2200 words. Her suggestions were easy to understand and insightful from specific moments to the overall pacing. When to expand more in an area to allow the character to develop more and when it was going well.
