Copy Edit.
“If like me, you're a bit of a dragon on a hoard about your writing, Claudia is exactly the person you need.”
— Remus Tudorache
Crafting a good reading experience involves not only having a good story but also a strong manuscript that is free of spelling, grammar, and continuity errors. Unaddressed mistakes in these areas can often sour what would otherwise be a good book. Let’s make sure that does not happen with yours.
I will give your manuscript careful attention to ensure it returns to you polished and error-free, ready for your readers to enjoy.
I offer a free sample edit of 500 words to give you a chance to asses if I am the right editor for you, before you commit to ordering a full manuscript edit.
When copy-editing, I cover the following areas:
Grammar
Punctuation
Syntax
Redundancy
Continuity Errors
For edits and inline commentary, I will be using Track Changes and Comments in Microsoft Word. Please submit your manuscript to me as a Word Document, preferably formatted in Modern Manuscript Format.
Once I have finished copy-editing your work, you will receive the following:
An edited copy of your manuscript with my edits and comments in Track Changes
A clean copy of your manuscript with my edits already incorporated
My standard rate for copy-editing is $0.020/word ($20/1,000 words). All word counts are welcome.
If you wish to compound this service with another editing service, let me know and I will offer you a reduced custom rate based on your needs.
