Line Editing

- Line editing focuses on word choice, rhythm, syntax and the overall strength of each sentence. Line editing helps authors keep their sentences powerful and concise, studying each sentence for wordiness and ensuring that unnecessary words are trimmed. Line editing also focuses on word meaning. Editors analyze whether the words chosen by the author are the best choice for conveying the intended message.
Developmental Editing
$450
- A developmental editor will focus on:
- • Your book’s genre. What type of story are you writing? What elements do readers expect from that type of story? Are those elements present in interesting and innovative ways?
- • Your book’s structure. Is there a beginning, middle, and end? Does the story include all the elements of storytelling, starting with an inciting incident and building to a climax and resolution? For a nonfiction book, have you communicated your point clearly, and organized the ideas in a logical flow building from the start of the book to the end?
- • Your book’s characters. Do you have too many characters, or too few? What are their goals? Do they make interesting choices to achieve those goals? Do those choices show strong characterization and move the plot forward?
- • Your book’s theme. What is this book really about? Why did you choose to write it, and what makes it important to you? What do you want readers to take away from it? How can you make that theme more powerful and impactful throughout the story?
- • Your book’s point of view. What point of view are you using in your book? Is it an effective choice for your story? Is it consistent throughout the book?
