Line Editing

Line editing enhances the clarity of your draft by reviewing sentences and suggesting improvements in word choice, syntax, and tone. Its goal is to ensure precise language and avoid clichés, while also aligning the tone with your intended message, particularly in climactic scenes.

A key focus of line editing is correcting plot and character inconsistencies, such as maintaining consistent character descriptions throughout the manuscript. While it can be challenging for authors to cut sentences or passages, this process is essential for improving overall quality. Remember, our editors provide suggestions, but the final decisions are yours.
