Line and Copy editing
(I use the current Chicago Manual of Style and online Merriam-Webster dictionary)
*correct grammar, spelling, punctuation
*tense
*fact check
*continuity of actions, location, descriptions
*consistency of spelling, hyphens, numbers, capitalization
*sentence structure and flow
*repetitive words
*accuracy of medical situations (I'm a pharmacist) and police scenarios
*no additional charge to look at blurb or synopsis for manuscripts I work on
*will work on American English and British English (Canada, Australia, etc.)
Note: My rates reflect one or two passes, but I will still correct everything listed above (one pass will NOT catch the same quantity or quality of edits as two passes). In addition, I don't concentrate on developmental/content, but if I notice something missing, I will mention it.
Each author is ultimately responsible for working my suggestions into their final manuscript. One set of eyes will never catch all errors, so I recommend at least two sets of eyes during the editing process.
On the same token, I realize I'm not perfect. If you find my work unsatisfactory , after I have returned the manuscript, please let me know. I'm committed to providing the best manuscript I can, and I will work with you until the end to perfect* your masterpiece!
*While the utmost effort will be given, I cannot guarantee a manuscript will be completely error-free.
