Developmental Editing
In-depth editing involving plot and argument evaluation. This process requires the author and the editor to work side-by-side to perfect the piece.Line Editing
Surface editing for grammatical and spelling errors. During this process, editors also make minor revision suggestions to help you reach your audience with your best writing.Proofreading
Final-touch polishing before the work goes to print. Edits for this round are done on paper, although we can transfer them to electronic copy if that suits your needs.Reader's Response
Professional feedback on the overall concept and presentation of the book or story. This is especially helpful for authors who want guidance in self-editing or revising before deeper editing begins.Writing Consultations
