Line Edit – USD 0.01 per word

($10 per 1000 words)

A thorough copy-edit for grammar, spelling, and punctuation, as well as a light line edit for flow, sentence structure, syntax, style, redundancies and consistency.

A Line Edit includes spotting repeated words, cliches, and any issues with readability, clarity, tone, and POV.

  • A Style Guide
  • Your manuscript marked up with Track Changes and Comments

Developmental Edit – USD 0.01 per word

($10 per 1000 words)

Thorough and detailed feedback on the hook, characters, structure, plot, pace, dialogue, and style of your novel. Includes an examination of POV, setting, tone, consistency, and readability.
