Copy Editing - Free Range Editorial

With my editorial assistance, you can concentrate on telling your story and bringing your characters to life. It’s your world, and I won’t try to change that.

My job is to be your final reader before publication. One last set of eyes checking for and correcting oversights in spelling, grammar, syntax, word usage, and punctuation. I will also check for consistency and continuity.

I offer two levels of service: Standard and Enhanced.

In Standard Copy Edit I will fix everything I find that is wrong: misspelled words, incorrect tenses, misused words, nonstandard punctuation, etc. I will also note in the margins words or sentences that aren’t as clear as you would probably like. If there’s a continuity problem, I’ll let you know. I will point out repetitive language but leave the heavy lifting to you. Standard is recommended for experienced authors.

In Enhanced Editing you’ll get everything I offer in Standard as well as fact checking, suggestions on word choice and sentence structure, minor rewriting, and a third pass review of author revisions. Novice authors and others who appreciate a little extra help and coaching will benefit by selecting Enhanced Editing.

I won’t hijack your work. My only goal is to help you give your readers the story you had in mind from the start.

“I have used a few editors, and Julie is the best one I have ever worked with. The books Julie fixes turn out the best. She is an expert at tightening sentences, eliminating repetitive language, and improving narrative flow. When my books go live on Amazon, I am confident there will be no typos or missing punctuation if Julie has touched the book. She is the standard I measure other editors by. I wish I could clone her!” — Lisa Lace, USA Today bestselling author.
