I provide professional line editing and proofreading services.
Types of Editing:
A book should go through at least three different types of editing, and they should be done by at least three different people. It needs content editing to help you organize your story in the most interesting and understandable way and catch any passages or plot elements that are confusing, redundant or boring. After that it needs line editing to polish the grammar, spelling, punctuation and so forth. And just when it seems like the book must be perfect, it needs proofreading to catch the errors that somehow stayed in there anyway. A good professional standard for proofreading is to keep checking until you have carefully read through the whole book once without finding a single error.
Here are some of the books I have edited or proofread, that you can sample on Amazon:
-Demons of DunDegore by M Joseph Murphy
-A Fallen Hero Rises by M Joseph Murphy
-Beyond the Black Sea by M Joseph Murphy
-Council of Peacocks by M Joseph Murphy
-Shadows of Insanity by David DeShazo
Line Editing Requirements:
The final draft must already be written and the content editing done. Attempts at line editing of earlier drafts will only waste your money and my time, so please be sure the story is ready. If you're not sure, feel free to contact me. I love talking with other writers, anyway, and would be glad to help you figure out if your work is ready for line editing. I'm sorry that I cannot line edit any piece I have beta read. Fresh eyes are mandatory for a professional job.
Proofreading Requirements:
Line editing must be completed, and the work must be new to me.
