Copy Editing
The Copy Edit is the final stage before formatting and publishing. I will ensure your manuscript is in accordance to the rules found in the Chicago Manual of Style, and that every element of your story is consistent, cohesive, and complete.
A copy editor will:
ensure proper grammar, punctuation, syntax and spelling
ensure there is technical consistency throughout your manuscript (i.e. British and American spelling)
ensure there are proper and consistent tenses (past/present/future) and POV (point of view) throughout your manuscript
ensure there is correct and consistent font and spacing
research to make certain all information is factually correct (especially important in Non-Fiction works)
If you’re ready for a Copy Edit, and you want that final polish before publishing, contact me below and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
