••• fiction — creative nonfiction — small-org copy •••
Basic copyediting
The go-to option for consistency, clarity, and concision, especially if you want to tighten up copy for your website, or polish up your manuscript. A great option for a more grammar-focused (but not grammar-fixated) edit, including:
consistency,
usage,
accuracy,
brevity, and
identity retention.
Proofreading
A great choice if your writing project is in its final stage and only needs review for usage (technical elements) before it goes live, such as:
punctuation,
spelling,
grammar, and
mechanics.
mega copyediting
Like the basic copyedit, but with a bit more bite. We may even delete whole paragraphs! In addition to the components of basic copyediting, we'll center more substantive elements in your work, such as:
continuity,
voice,
accuracy,
flow, and
identity retention.
localization
If you're an EFL/ELL/ESOL/EAL writer, we'd love to help you review your US English-language content, where we'll focus on:
consistency,
clarity,
flow, and
identity retention.
