Structural and line editing are the two earliest stages of an article or manuscript's editing process.
Structural editing: Together, we will explore your draft, making sure the arc and story make sense, the sections are correctly ordered, and nothing substantial is missing or repeated. We'll consider the voice and tonal match to your intended audience.
Line editing: With the major review and adjustments done, we can tackle the line-by-line components, such as flow between paragraphs and sentences, word choices, and the removal of filler and redundancy. We'll strengthen your transitions and emphasis to make sure your article, story, or book succeeds at its goal with style and impact.
The standard structural and line editing contracts include a returned draft with tracked changes and two rounds of revisions.
