There are four levels of editing: proofreading, copyediting, line editing and developmental editing. Quotes are determined by what kind of editing you need, which will be determined by the sample that you submit. If you aren’t sure what kind of editing you need, no worries.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the process of checking for grammatical errors, punctuation and fact checking. This is done after you’ve completed your manuscript and are at the final stage (right before you publish).

Copyediting

Copyediting is the process of checking for tone, accuracy, character development, plot holes, clarity and structure. I recommend copy editing after you’ve gone through your first draft at least once. It saves you money in the long run.

Line Editing

Line editing is the process of going line by line through the manuscript and making changes. Tracked changes are used via Microsoft word and the client has the option to accept or reject any changes made. Comments are placed in the margins for any changes that need explanation.

Developmental Editing

Developmental Editing is done at the beginning stages. Perhaps you have an outline or a synopsis and need to discuss how to bring your story to life. This is when you get the structure and bare bones down, so you can write your story with confidence. (Sample Edit not available for Developmental Editing)
