Line Editing
Line editing looks at language and communication of your message. Our editing packs a punch, with sub-heading suggestions, paragraph flow correction, less repetition, topic sentence suggestions, and look at consistent voice.
Copy Editing
Copy editing is thorough editing for spelling, grammar, consistency, word choice, and punctuation.
Guideline for hours required:
- A short book (30,000 words) can take between 14–20 hours.
- A long book (70,000 words) can take between 20-30 hours.
Julie Martyn of GrammarFun can help you with copy editing at a professional level and will quote on sight of the work.
Another good editor choice is Gail Tagarro (iPed accredited editor) or Poppy Solomon.
Writing Coaching
Rather than developmental work, we now offer a fully-inclusive Writing Coaching program over six months.
Our suggestions will help you, right from the start:
- connect to the reader
- stay on the theme
- stay on voice
- perform a re-structure of material, if required
- with advice on referencing and copyright matters.
We also include book blurb writing (with hot selling points) and short author bio suggestions.
With fortnightly Zoom calls and regular feedback on chapters, this friendly book writer coaching keeps you on track.
Place your book with an experienced Editor / Writer.
