Copyediting

Copyediting is about fine-tuning the flow and clarity of your writing so readers can enjoy your book without any distractions from the story. Honing the manuscript by restructuring awkward sentences, cutting out unnecessary words, and varying repeated ones will give your readers a smooth and immersive experience. Along with these details are the essentials of any necessary corrections to grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Combining all these elements helps ensure that every line of your novel is readable and makes sense. I can work with you in British or US English.

In copyediting your cozy mystery, sweet romance, or inspirational novel, my aim is to work with you to make sure that every word counts and maintains the momentum of the story you’ve created, compelling the reader to keep turning the pages.

To see if we could be a good fit as author and editor, I will complete a free 1,000-word sample edit for you. You can then see if the way I edit is what you’re looking for, and I can provide you with a personalised quote.

Pricing: from £12.00 GBP, $16.00 USD, $22.00 CAD per 1,000 words.

“It’s always a pleasure to work with Heather. She’s polished multiple books for me, both as a proofreader and a copyeditor, and has always returned a professional work product with highly insightful and skilled edits, and within the agreed-upon time frame. Every book was raised to a new level of quality because of Heather’s work. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to produce a better, more marketable book!”
