Developmental Edit:
(overall view)
Read and review the current draft of your book to improve the execution and content, including: plot, character, narrative, point of view, and theme.
Copy Edit:
(close up inspection)
Read and correct the following in your completed manuscript: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, word usage, repetition, tense, continuity, dialogue tags, point of view, inconsistency.
Proofread:
(last look before publication)
Read and double-check for spelling and grammatical errors that may have been missed so they don’t make it into the final version of your book. (Note: proofreading is not a replacement for editing. It is checking a manuscript after editing.)
Note from Kess:
Remember, no matter what, it’s your book. Everything marked in the manuscript is a recommended change – that’s what you’re paying me for. If you don’t agree, don’t approve the change. The final decision is completely yours.
For first-time clients, I require a non-refundable 50% of the agreed upon fee up front. The other half will be due upon completion of the work. If you need an installment plan, just reach out and we’ll figure it out together.
Drop me an email at graffridgepub@proton.me and tell me the type of editing you need and send me the first three chapters with a short note telling me about yourself. I’ll use the sample chapters to put together a quote and get back to you within three business days.
