Line Editing – Non-fiction
Line editing looks at language and communication of your message. Our line editing packs a punch, with sub-heading suggestions, paragraph flow correction, less repetition, topic sentence suggestions, and look at consistent voice. It is not your regular copy editing or proofreading service.
Guideline for days required:
- A lead magnet (5,000 words) involves creating headings, arranging, resourcing and copyediting. If available, 1 week turnaround.
- A short book (30,000 words) involves about 24 hours to edit, so it’s about 2 weeks turnaround.
- A longer book (70,000 words) can take between 40–60 hours to edit, and we refer these to Julie at Grammarfun or Gail Taggaro.
Referral system: Give plenty of lead time and get a choice of experienced book editors.
