I will copy edit and proofread your book
About this Gig
Line edits occur after developmental edits. Also known as stylistic editing, these edits will come with inline notes to assist with language use, tone, style, as well as grammar and mechanics. Line edits seek to refine vocabulary by replacing vague or repetitive words, addressing echoes and filtering phrases, and suggesting stronger, more precise alternatives that match with the author's intended tone and style.
In addition, this includes copy editing, which addresses technical correctness. It ensures your manuscript is free of grammatical errors, typos, and follows consistent style rules.
I strive to finish all edits before the estimated completion date, but this can depend on how much work your project needs. Extra wordcounts can potentially extend the turnaround time. Feel free to message me to discuss any deadlines in advance so I can meet your needs!

FAQ
What style do you edit in?
Unless otherwise requested, I follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
Do you only do US English?
No! I'm well-versed in editing for US, UK, AU, and CA English. Just let me know your preference when booking!
Do you format ebooks for Amazon/Draft2Digital/IngramSpark?
Yes. Your epub file will be run through a check for any errors to ensure it's in compliance with all of the major distributors.
Do you format print books for Amazon/Draft2Digital/IngramSpark?
Yes. I ensure all print formatting fits guidelines for all the major distributors in terms of bleed and margins so you can use your .pdf anywhere.
Do you use ChatGPT to edit?
BIG FAT NO. I'm an author myself and am vehemently anti-GenAi. I will never feed your work into any kind of LLM.
How do you give me my edits?
All edits are supplied as a Word file (.docx) or, if preferred, a Google Doc. Any changes I make will be done as Track Changes/Suggestions so you can see every alteration I make and choose to approve or reject anything you'd like.
