This is your final step in the editing process. You need a copyedit directly before formatting your manuscript. After copyediting and accepting all final corrections, you can proceed with formatting your book before proofreading and publishing.
A copyedit will fix any problems with PUGS (punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling). This edit also includes evaluating your word usage, eliminating jargon, and removing repetitious words.
I’ll focus on ensuring your writing has clarity. It’s a fundamental but vital level of editing to ensure you’re prepared to continue on your publishing journey.
I’ll provide you with precise edits individually outlined in Microsoft Word’s Track Changes. You just review the final document and accept each change as appropriate.
You’ll also learn more about your writing strengths and weaknesses by identifying crutch words and repetitious mistakes.
I’ll provide you with neutral and constructive criticism so that you can grow as a writer and improve any repetitive errors within basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Griffin was an absolute pleasure to work with. His keen eye was exactly what my book needed to get to a publishable level. He finished the copyedit well ahead of schedule and provided valuable feedback. I am truly grateful to have worked with him.
