Copyediting

Regardless of genre, subject matter, or publication type, copyediting ensures the text is polished, intentional, and reliable. At its core, copyediting ensures that writing is clear, correct, consistent, and cohesive. 

Here’s what you can typically expect to receive as part of a copyedit: 

• Editorial feedback summary to give authors and production managers insight into lingering issues, stylistic choices, and opportunities for improvement for subsequent editions or digital updates
• The copyedited manuscript for author review (after the initial round of editing)
• The final, clean copyedited manuscript with all author-approved edits reviewed and incorporated by me
• Editorial style sheet for the proofreader

For this service, I typically work on:

• Academic and nonfiction - all disciplines
• Fiction - all genres
• Publication types - reference books, scholarly books, scholarly & research journals, trade books, textbooks, dissertations, digital platforms, medicolegal reports

The copyediting stage is a great time to prepare your manuscript for audio narration. I offer audiobook manuscript preparation for narrators and production teams. To request a sample of my work, my resume, or a complete list of projects, please get in touch through the contact page.
