Copyediting

Whether you’re self-publishing or looking to submit your manuscript to agents and publishers, I can help you bring your work to an excellent standard that helps your story shine

A copyedit is a thorough process for ensuring your work is accurate, clear, correct, and consistent. I will check your manuscript for mistakes and issues that affect the flow and readability of your work. This includes, but is not limited to: 

• Punctuation, ensuring correct and consistent use. 
• Spelling (including checking for UK Vs US spellings) and typing errors. 
• Repetition. 
• Consistent style (capitalisations, italics, spelling of names and places, numbers, and more), including meeting style guides where appropriate.
• Correct syntax and usage. 
• Query factual errors and fact-check where appropriate. 
• Clarity and general readability. 
• Formatting issues (double spaces, headers and footers, page numbers, font, margins, etc.) 
• Checking sources and links.

I am passionate about making publishing a welcoming and accessible industry for all, which is why I will work diligently to help you make your manuscript the best it can be for an affordable price. If you have additional requirements, or prefer to work in a particular way – for example, working in chapter installments – simply let me know.

I am currently offering reduced rates until early 2024, and will be able to send you a competitive quote upon learning more about your project.
