Light Copyedit

Includes a cover letter with an overview of the suggested edits, and the following: 

  • Review for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style consistency as well as suggestions for clarity and conciseness

  • Style sheet that tracks formatting, timelines, people, places, and other terms specific to the individual work—I provide this for both fiction and nonfiction

  • Light fact-checking (if applicable)

  • Follow up information for the author on how to review and incorporate the feedback, if they are unfamiliar 

  • A second pass through the manuscript to look for final errors and ensure suggested changes have been incorporated without new errors

​

Typical cost: $0.015 (1.5 cents) per word or $15 per 1,000 words
