Editing Services
There are five different types of editing: Developmental Editing, Structural Editing, Line Editing, Copy Editing, and Proofreading. Which type do you need at which part of the writing process? Wordsmith Editing does all five types, and I will talk with you to determine which you need. Three of my clients achieved best-selling status while working with me, and four others received awards for books I edited!
Proofreading, Copy Editing, and Manuscript Formatting Services. Sometimes I’m referred to as a Grammar Nazi. Or the Grammar Police due to an obsessive desire to make the world a better place with a fully-functional basis of the English language. And for years, I’ve honed this craft into the editing of my own science fiction/fantasy/adventure books, the editing of the various books published through The Crossover Alliance publishing company, and various other projects, including resumes, school reports, and articles.
