Line Editing

Line editing focuses on enhancing the writing and improving the clarity and effectiveness of the text and addresses sentence structure, word choice, syntax, and tone as well as other aspects of grammar, punctuation, and language.

Telling a story that will keep readers engaged involves not only crafting a strong plot and creating those fascinating characters we want the reader to love (or hate!) but also writing with clear, effective language and developing your own unique author voice. Our line editing service focuses on just that—enhancing the writing and improving the clarity and effectiveness of the text by addressing sentence structure, word choice, syntax, and tone as well as other aspects of grammar, punctuation, and language. We’ll also check for consistency of details throughout the story, making sure your character’s blue eyes didn’t suddenly become brown halfway through or their glasses didn’t inexplicably get replaced by contact lenses.
