In-Depth Copy Editing

My copy editing services are designed to meet the unique needs of your project, with all corrections and queries done using Track Changes in Microsoft Word.

I offer three levels of service:

  • Light Copy Editing: This includes all the fundamental checks for spelling, grammar, and consistency.
  • Medium Copy Editing: I provide light editing services, plus suggestions for improvements in organization, logic, and clarity without changing your original text.
  • Heavy Copy Editing: This comprehensive service includes everything in the other two levels, plus I will correct all errors, assist in rewriting wordy passages, and verify facts.

What Copyediting Includes

All copy editing packages include a meticulous review of your work in the following areas:

  • Mechanical Editing: I ensure consistency in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting.
  • Correlation: I check for consistency between your table of contents, chapters, and all numbered elements such as footnotes and figures.
  • Language Editing: I correct errors in grammar and syntax, and I will highlight confusing or "wordy" paragraphs.
  • Content Editing: I will advise you on any factual inconsistencies, possibly incorrect statements, and parts of your text that may require reprint permissions.

Project-Based Pricing

My pricing is based on a project-by-project basis, following the Editorial Freelancers Association guidelines.

The final cost for copy editing or line editing is determined by:

  • The project's word count and subject
  • The level of editing required (light, medium, or heavy)
  • The estimated time needed to complete the work, which I determine after a sample edit
