Copy editing is the work of reviewing a manuscript for grammar, punctuation, printing style, and factual accuracy. Your copy editor will find and point out copy editing issues in your manuscript and suggest changes, often adherent to a particular style manual (ex: Chicago Manual of Style).

Developmental editing is concerned with the content and style of a work. Your developmental editor will make sure your writing makes sense, your writing is clear, style is consistent and your sentences flow well. This editing service can be expected to take a little longer than copy editing or proofreading.

Has this ever been you? “Ack! Help! I’ve been uploading this e-book for hours and everything looks great except there’s this weird blank spot in the middle of chapter three!” Yeah, I can help you with that. The hard truth is that 99% of formatting problems are dumb little software interface quirks that don’t require a PhD in coding to solve- just the the eyes of someone else who’s been there. I’ve been there.
