Copyediting: A copyeditor will read your manuscript and correct punctuation, grammar, spelling errors, and any other obvious mechanical problems with the text. We cannot guarantee perfection, and that is why, after the copyediting is complete, you will have the opportunity to read a proof of the book's interior and cover text so that you can approve all of the text prior to your book's publication.

Line Editing: Some manuscripts simply require more work than others. When heavy copyediting is required, an editor will check the manuscript line by line and correct errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. The editor will also make suggestions to improve syntax and word choice, and may recommend light structural changes to improve the overall readability of the work.

Content Editing: A content editor will work to ensure the general accuracy and consistency of content and focus on more extensive restructuring of sentences. For fiction titles, the editor will develop a style sheet that focuses on maintaining the plot line, preserving character traits, and details of setting. For nonfiction titles, the style sheet will monitor consistency of information throughout.
