Description

Line editing is the second type of editing offered, which is done after substantive editing and before copy editing. We only edit books that are light novels or superhero books.

For this service, we charge $100 per 5,000 words, based on 2 cents per word. Since each order counts toward 5,000, you'll need to change the quantity of your order to match your book length. For example, if your book is 47,000 words long, you'll need to make 10 orders of this service.

Before you buy this service, please fill out the included form and submit your manuscript. Turnaround time is approximately one to two months after submission and payment. You must be at least 18 years old and own the rights to the book.

Line editing involves going through your book line by line to improve its readability. It includes looking at:

• word usage
• clarity
• maintaining voice
• rewriting/rewording/rearranging
• changing passive sentences to active ones
• unnecessary adjectives
• run-on sentences
• redundancies
• dialogue
• tone
• transitions
• jargon
• syntax
• phrasing
• verbiage
• clichés
• fact-checking
