Copy-Editing Services
As we find ourselves in the biggest technologically advanced society possible with the greatest emphasis placed on shortform in email and text messaging, it is easy to overlook the basic quality which a prospective publisher demands. A well-written book prepared with exacting attention to the detail of grammar and sentence construction is still the order of the day!
As an author who has carefully nurtured the plot from his clever mind, created the characters from his heart and toiled over each tiny detail of their manuscript, it is easy to overlook the obvious. Our copy-editing service will ensure that your manuscript meets the requirements of any publisher and will not be rejected because the first impression it creates is the amount of tidying up it would need before it could be read as a viable novel.
Addressed in depth, our services include:
- checking and correcting grammar, spelling, capitalisation, forms of address, use of italics and other minutiae
- sentence construction and the finer points of grammar will also be studied in detail and suggestions made for improvements, but will also take into account the structure of the sentences on a deeper level than the proof-reading service. The editor will make changes in structure relating to the chapters and the overall plot if necessary
If you are considering self publishing, then this is an essential service to ensure that your manuscript is perfect before it is placed for typesetting prior to printing. After all, as a self-published author you are solely responsible for the quality of your work. |
