Final Polish Editorial editing and self-publishing packages
How editing works
Copyediting
This process takes the most time and focuses on improving sentence and paragraph structure, flow, wordiness, and clarity. You'll receive your manuscript with Tracked changes in Word and comments for any queries.
After you've reviewed my changes and answered any editorial questions, please return the manuscript for proofreading.
Proofreading
After the changes have been made, I review the manuscript one final time to check for any proofreading errors.
You will receive a properly formatted, edited manuscript, ready for self-publishing or submission to publishers and literary agents.
Your style sheet
Every copyedit and proofread includes a style sheet detailing the style choices made for your manuscript. If you have specific preferences, they can easily be accommodated.
​
The style sheet outlines character names, distinguishing traits, and style choices such as single or double quotation marks, US vs UK English, Mr vs Mr., twenty-three vs 23, etc.
This style sheet is tailored to your manuscript and will be invaluable for a series or sequel.
