Line Editing

A line edit provides an in-depth look at your manuscript, examining mechanics and grammar, and assessing flow, style, and minor structural issues. While it focuses on the word and sentence level, it can address some broader components as needed, including:

• paragraph and sentence structure

• effectiveness of language choices

• flow

• unnecessary wordiness

• mood, tone, and style

• minor structural issues

What is it?

Who is it for?

A line edit is for writers who want a more in-depth look at their writing. This is still a word and sentence level sort of edit, but it takes more into account and aims to give your writing that extra little bit of polish.

This kind of edit works best after your manuscript has already undergone a developmental edit.
