  • ambiguity

  • repetition

  • showing vs. telling

  • parallelity of your sentences

  • redundancy

  • fit with the target audience

  • readability of the sentences and paragraphs.

  • grammar

  • syntax

  • consistency

  • factual accuracy

  • spelling

  • punctuation

  • typos.

What you'll get with sentence-level editing

Are you happy with your story, but do you feel like there's something wrong with the flow?

Are you worried you have too many grammatical errors or typos in your manuscript?

Or would you like to be certain that the facts in your book are accurate?

Then a sentence-level edit is the best choice for you.

​

With a sentence-level edit, I use the tracked changes function in Microsoft Word to highlight the changes I made in your manuscript. You will receive two versions of the manuscript:

  • One where tracked changes is on, so you can see the changes I made (and choose to accept or decline any changes).

  • One where all the changes have been accepted, so the document is a clean version.

​

In addition, you will receive:

  • Comments throughout the story within your manuscript with more suggestions for changes and explanations.​

  • A PDF with the style sheet I created for your manuscript.

  • An editorial report highlighting some of the most common issues I encountered in your manuscript with some explanation and advice to help you improve your writing.
