In-line edits directly in your manuscript using Word’s tracked changes.
Notes using the comment facility.
Sentence-level edits for clarity, tone, flow, show vs tell, and consistency.

How It Works
Once your slot is confirmed and the contract is signed, you’ll send your manuscript, in Word format, by the agreed start date. I’ll then get to work.

When the edit is complete, you’ll receive two versions of your manuscript:
One with all changes accepted, so you can focus on my comments and suggestions without the distraction of markup.
One with all changes tracked, so you can go through every edit one by one, with full transparency.

You can then work in whatever style suits you best – whether you want to dive straight into revisions or review each change in detail.

Best For
