Line editing comes before copy editing. Where copy editors are
concerned with mechanics, line editors are concerned primarily with questions of
style. Line editing involves editing a book sentence by sentence (or line by line)
to upgrade the prose, always keeping the craft in mind. A line edit ensures that
your book’s content is consistent while its language is creative and concise.
Line editing involves correcting word choice, sentence effectiveness, suggestions
for better ways to say something, and apparent inconsistencies. This is the most
popular editing choice for our authors.
Line editors read while keeping attention to detail, maintaining an interest in the
way language works at the sentence level, and appreciating the flow of the story.
Any book or manuscript can benefit from copy editing. Copy editing
focuses less on the big picture and more on the details of the language. Hence, a
copy editor ensures that the language in a manuscript follows standard English rules
and adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style, the standard in trade publishing. Copy
editing services check for accuracy, consistency, grammatical errors, spelling,
syntax, and punctuation.
Most books go through at least one round of line editing and one round of copy
edits. Copy editing is intended to be a final review of the manuscript after the
content has been fully edited. Skipping copy editing may considerably lower the
quality of a finished product.
Typically, the first stage of the editing process is the developmental edit.
Developmental book editing is our most involved option, as it requires the most time
and effort to uncover and identify the “big-picture” problems underlying your story.
We pair our experienced developmental editors with authors to guide them in
conceiving the topic, planning the overall structure, and developing an outline. We
complete the round of edits and give authors a chance to review them before moving
forward.
With this service, you can expect an extensive markup with many suggestions on
improving the story or manuscript, helping the flow and enriching the story, and
evaluating the book as a whole so it all makes sense.
We know you’ve put a lot of time and effort into writing your book, so we want to help you publish a book you’re proud of. Here’s why you should work with us for your book editing needs.
Our book editors are experienced professionals with a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of various writing styles. They can provide valuable feedback to improve your book’s quality.
We know all authors are different. That’s why we provide several book editing options and can tailor them to your needs.
We value open communication and will work closely with you to ensure we edit your book to your liking.
Work with your publishing consultant to determine which type
of book
editing to include in your publishing package.
Submit your manuscript to your project manager
for your first round of
editing.
Your editor will complete edits directly in
Microsoft Word and will provide
an editorial letter.
This letter will offer insights into edits that aren’t line
specific,
such as why they made certain edits and examples of trends in the writing.
After each round of editing, you’ll receive a
proof to review on your own
time. Here, you can
accept or decline each suggested edit.
For manuscripts with higher word counts, the potential for errors
increases. After completing the first round of edits, your editor may
recommend a
second round to polish the
manuscript further.
