Types of Editing Available
The types of editing I will provide are as follows:
- Proofread: I will scan your piece for any spelling or grammar errors. The standard timescale for this is 48 hours.
- Basic Edit: as well as scanning your piece for any spelling or grammar errors, I will check for any word choice or other simple changes. The standard timescale for this is 72 hours.
- Comprehensive Edit: I will scan your piece for any spelling or grammar errors, as well as checking for any basic changes in line with the plot or narrative. I will look at word choice, and also at the imagery used and suggest edits based on these. This can take anywhere up to 5 days dependant on the length of the piece.
- Full Edit: I will effectively act as a beta-reader for your piece. I will go through the piece line-by-line, scanning for any spelling or grammar errors. I will discuss in-depth your word choice, suggest changes to sentence structure and imagery where required and look at the flow of the piece as a whole. If it is a story, I will look at the plot and discuss any plot holes or grey areas with you. If it is a poem, I will look at the stanzas and how they flow together, and if the main underlying idea of the poem comes across effectively. Due to the in-depth nature of this edit, it can take up to 2 weeks dependent on the length of the piece.
