FAQ
What is copyediting?
Copyediting is the final polish for your manuscript. This process corrects errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and formatting consistency to ensure your writing is flawless.
Is copyediting the right next step for me?
If you're happy with your story but need to clean up the typos and style slip-ups, copyediting is your next move. If you’re looking for big structural changes, character tweaks, or a total tone shift, you’ll want to team up with a developmental editor first.
What file should I submit?
Please send your manuscript as a .doc or .docx. I use Microsoft Word Track Changes so you can see my edits.
What is Microsoft Word Track Changes?
Microsoft Word Track Changes keeps track of changes made to a document. You can then choose to accept or reject those changes, so you always have control over your manuscript.
Do you offer revisions?
While I review every word meticulously on the first pass to keep edits minimal, I’m human and always happy to refine things. If you have any questions or need adjustments, just let me know! I’m always glad to tweak things until you're completely satisfied with the final result.
