Line editing focuses on improving sentence structure, looking at the logic and clarity of scenes, maintaining consistency, rhythm of sentences, and breaking up too-long paragraphs. It makes sure, for example, that each character has consistent actions, or that the spelling of a name or place doesn't change. If something is muddy or hard to understand, I will ensure it is clear and reads easily. In the line editing process, I also format your manuscript to be ready for publish as a Kindle e-book.  

This service also comes with a free Editor's Report, a 1-page letter highlighting the most common issues I found during editing, geared toward showing you how to avoid your most common writing mistakes to become a better writer.

Line editing focuses on improving: 

• Sentence structure
• Clarity and sense of scenes
• Awkward phrasing
• Content of storyline
• Consistency of characters and actions
• Rhythm (ensures a mix of long and short sentences for improved flow)
• Gerunds, nominalizations, and passive voice
• Parallelism and correlative conjunctions
• Breaks up too-long paragraphs 
• Includes Kindle e-book formatting

My line editing service does not focus on word choice, punctuation, spelling, repetitiveness, or grammar. (If this is what you're looking for, check out my proofreading service.)
