Line Edit

The line edit will focus on your manuscript's ability to provide readers with a great reading experience. In addition to checking for clarity, I'll look at the paragraph development and flow to ensure that the story connects from one paragraph to the next. I'll tighten the writing to make it flow smoothly, fix confusing paragraphs and sentences, and remove needless word padding.

What I Look For

Run-on sentences
Sentence fragments
Word meaning clarification
Jargon
Sentences to tighten
Awkward dialogue
Paragraph and sentence structure
Style
Emotion, tone, and pacing
Consistency (character names, etc.)
Tense issues (past / present / future)
Continuity and plot flaws
Suggestions for improving writing quality
