Copy Editing
Copy editing focuses on the line level — clarity, consistency, and flow. This is the stage where the larger structure is already in place and we work through the manuscript sentence by sentence. The goal is to make the writing clearer and more consistent while preserving your voice.

How It Works
-
We start with a free consultation so I can understand the project and where you are with it.
-
You tell me what you have, what the piece is about, and where you’re stuck.
-
I give you clear feedback and a practical path forward.
-
We decide on the right level of editing and move from there.
Who It’s For
Writers who have a completed or near-completed draft and want the writing tightened and polished before a final proofread.
