(This is a satellite site for my main site, www.samanthalordwriter.com, but you can contact me here).

I offer developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading services. You can hire me for one, two, or all of these services.
Developmental EditingDevelopmental editing is the first step in the book editing process. It is high-level, structural editing. You can have several rounds of developmental editing. By high level, I mean it includes revisions and suggestions about the structure, organization, and general tone of your manuscript. It does not focus on the line-level issues that we deal with in the next phase of editing (copyediting and line editing).
Copyediting/Line Editing
Copyediting and line editing are line-level editing. I do both in one service. Copyediting and line editing focus on reviewing, correcting, improving, and refining grammar, sentence structure, clarity, and style. You can have more than one round of copyediting/line editing.
Proofreading
Proofreading takes place after all copyediting is complete. It involves reviewing and correcting any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors that slipped through the copyediting process.
