Copyediting

Writing is a true labor of love that demands countless hours of work and an unyielding determination to question every word and punctuation choice. Accordingly, I believe my editorial responsibility is to preserve and strengthen storytelling through judicious, deferential revisions that enhance readability by promoting clarity and consistency. A basic copyedit will

  • ensure consistency in all mechanical matters (e.g., spelling, capitalization, formatting) and narrative matters (e.g., characterization, setting, timeline);

  • correct all indisputable errors in grammar, syntax, and usage;

  • highlight verbose phrases or passages that might cause confusion; and

  • query factual inconsistencies and potentially erroneous statements that require correction or verification.

Editorial rates will vary in accordance with project demands, so please reach out if you’d like to discuss your work and the level of editing you’re seeking. Additionally, I’m happy to edit a sample of your writing to ensure we’re a good fit.
