Copy Editing

Copy editing focuses on improving grammar and clarity of writing while addressing sentence structure, word choice, syntax, and other aspects of language.

When the story is solid and the writing tells the tale you want it to with your own unique style, another round of editing—called copy editing—can help to correct any remaining issues with grammar, language, and clarity. Our copy editing service focuses on improving grammar, correcting issues with punctuation and sentence structure, and double checking the text for continuity and consistency. This is the final full editing step before the manuscript is formatted and proofread prior to publication.
