Artfully Refined Editing for the Independent Voice

The Craft

Editorial Services:

Structural Conjuring

Developmental Editing:
Also known as content editing, entails critiquing high-level structural components like characters, thematic elements, plot cohesion, and organization.
Note: This is offered for complete or nearly completed manuscripts. It is not offered at the conceptual or outline stage.

Refine Narrative

Atmospheric Alchemy

Line editing:
Addresses paragraph- and sentence-level structure and flow, to ensure clarity, meaning, and consistent style & tone from start to finish.
Note: Line editing is included in the copyediting service, unless otherwise requested .

Enhance Tone

Vernacular Varnish

Copyediting:
Focuses on proper language mechanics, including grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage, to enhance clarity and rhythmic polish.
Note: Copyediting follows the Chicago Manual of Style, unless otherwise requested.

Polish Prose

Final Script Sweep

Proofreading:
A meticulous final pass to catch lingering errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting before you send your manuscript off to the designer.
