Editing

What does editing involve?

 

Most of my clients require a degree of copy-editing. As well as correcting spelling, grammar and punctuation, I can also look at the format and layout, correcting mistakes and making recommendations for changes or re-wording. I review the whole document including images, graphs and other media to ensure accuracy and continuity of style.

​

Other clients require more detailed analysis of their work. This can include identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, writing up an analysis of chapters/sections, and offering insight into improving the work to obtain a high professional standard.

​

​

​What I can look at:

​

  • Spelling mistakes and typos

  • Missing or duplicated words

  • Incorrect word choices

  • Punctuation

  • Grammar, taking into account style and tone

  • Italics and capitalisation

  • Wrong spacing and paragraph layout

  • Images and graphs

  • Headings, chapter titles, captions and page numbers

  • Incorrect facts and links

  • Lack of clarity

  • Plot holes and inconsistencies

​

I can also:

  • Make recommendations for re-wording or re-working a section

  • Give a detailed breakdown of sections/chapters and notes for improvement

Charges and fees

​

£8-£20 per 1,000 words, depending on level of correction or consultation required, the level of technical difficulty and the expected timescale for completion. Please note that there is a minimum charge of £30.
