How to copy edit a manuscript services

I’m an expert of children’s fiction and fantasy genre fiction.I benefit from many years experience of close reading and editing important corporate and business documents as well as university coursework; academic; medical documents as well as articles; brochures; blog posts; books; curriculum vitae; resumes and so on. My remit includes quality manuals, technical information and handbooks. I even scored 98% for presentation, language, spelling, grammar and punctuation in a final year university exam piece. How I help you achieve your goals: All work is personally undertaken, I do not outsource. Everything is done with strict confidentiality. My expertise in fiction editing helps you bring your vision fully to life. I work to a high standard and I am a perfectionist, so your work is in safe hands. A copy edit is a close line by line edit that checks for and ensures grammatical correctness, sound logic and style consistency.The larger overview like plot holes or confusing elements should have already been checked by a developmental editor whose job it is to critique structure, plot, character, and broad aspects of the book.

Most agents only read ONE PAGE of your manuscript before they decide if they like it...or not. No pressure right? You need a second pair of eyes, a lady who has done the publishing research and has the know-how to help you revise for success. Now, I'm not saying I can get you published, but I sure as heck can offer you some quality advice that might help you get your foot in the proverbial publishing door. My number one goal is your success, so I offer incredibly inexpensive prices for each package. In each of my packages, I offer you a professional editorial letter with detailed revision suggestions, just like an editor in a publishing house would give. I also use Microsoft Word Track Changes to highlight content and copy edits.  My biggest goal is to help you feel ready to show off your manuscript, so let me know your vision, and we can work together to make it happen. Still got questions about how I can help you? Ask for a quote, and we can talk it over.

I love words. I believe that the ability to create pictures with words is one of the most precious talents there is. Authors can transport a reader to another time, another place, another land, and increase understanding. It is magical. I provide proofreading for spelling, grammar, syntax, spacing, punctuation, word flow, and word tense as well as copy editing to correct those items. I will provide a Tracked Changes copy to show what errors were discovered andwhat actions were taken to correct them, along with instructions on how to view the changes.  A clean copy can make a difference in the sale of your book. A book rife with errors will make the book more about the errors than about your talent and the journey you desire your reader to embark upon. A book that is cleansed of errors becomes about the story and the talent that created it. Readers will be more inclined to wonder what other wonderful journeys your next work of art would mean for them and would be more likely to invest in your art.

As I've written seven completed manuscripts of my own and have more than 10 others in progress, I am an experienced novel writer. Additionally, I have served as a beta reader/critique partner on manuscripts for many different people. I am offering a beta reading/critique service that will utilize the Comments and Track Changes features in Microsoft Word. I will make callouts for content concerns and apply line edits in text. This will include some suggestions of how to make the text more clear to readers and will provide insight into what a reader wants/needs out of a scene, action, and dialogue. I will discuss overall structure of a chapter or a scene, point out strengths, and highlight areas you need to work on. I can suggest words to cut out. I will tackle any project as I do all of my beta reads. This means that I will frequently speak directly to the character, either yelling at them or fanning over them or creating my own ship. I will also point out speculation I have for what might happen next as though I were a reader. This will allow you to determine if you are using foreshadowing effectively. Have any questions? Let me know!

A hearty welcome to my gig. My experience in academia has accorded me the opportunity to copy edit hundreds of manuscripts, book chapters, journals, op-ed articles et al. I know how central it is to produce a well-written manuscript that will catapult your career to a higher trajectory. Sometimes a second pair of eyes is all that is needed to turn lukewarm manuscripts into great masterpieces that are prime candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Beyond grammar and punctuation typos, I will polish your manuscript to perfection and make sure it is ripe for publication or submission. Kindly get in touch. Order now.
