Line editing deals with the specific issues at the sentence and paragraph level. This is where I will make sure your manuscript is clear and your writing is correct. It is often called stylistic editing because it focuses on preserving the writer’s style. I will review your writing for: Word use Redundant use of language Filler words and filter phrases Repetition Empty words or phrases Overly wordy sentences Reader flow Ambiguity in meaning Suitable tone Mistakes in grammar Fact-checking How it works: I will complete one pass. All edits will be made to your manuscript using Track Changes in Microsoft Word and using The Chicago Manual of Style. Cost: $0.022 per word https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7d390d5bf80784baf88d0/1666818141681-OM1QJI85D56LJOJZTA08/unsplash-image-aAbc_C7PH4Y.jpg Services - Copy Editing Copy editing comes between line editing and proofreading. It's where I’ll make sure commas are in the right spot and ensure your dialogue and action beats are punctuated correctly. I will be looking for: Mistakes in grammar, spelling, and punctuation Syntax Minor fact-checking Flagging repetition, plot holes, awkward phrasing Flagging continuity problems, ambiguous vocabulary Dialogue punctuation Consistency in spelling, punctuation, character names, font, capitalization, numeration, etc. Formatting issues (quotations marks are facing the correct direction, extra spaces, etc.) How it works: I will complete two passes. All edits will be made to your manuscript using Track Changes in Microsoft Word and using The Chicago Manual of Style. Cost: $0.018 per word https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7d390d5bf80784baf88d0/d385ffea-fc2c-467a-a917-e6d9571a8f99/image-asset.jpg Services - Basic Proofreading Basic proofreading is the last (not the only) line of defense for correcting those pesky mistakes. By now, your manuscript has likely been through a line edit, a copy edit, and possibly even a first round of proofreading. I will be looking for: Obvious typos and misued words Missing words Continuity problems (was your MC wearing blue in the paragraph above but is now wearing green?) Consistency in spelling, punctuation, font, capitalization, numeration, etc. Basic formatting issues (extra spaces or tabs, subtitle consistency, etc.) How it works: This service includes one editing pass. All edits will be made to your manuscript using Track Changes in Microsoft Word and using The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster Dictionary for reference.. ** Note: This is NOT a copy edit. If the manuscript has extensive grammar and punctuation issues, you will be charged at the copy edit rate. Please do not request this service unless your manuscript will be copy edited first.

I created VB Edits because I love reading and I love the written word. Along with professional training, I have a natural ability to spot errors as I read, and I love to work with authors as they polish their manuscripts for publication. Helping others is something I love—as a former teacher, a mom, and a friend, as well as in my career—so not only will I work on the editing and proofreading aspects of your journey, I’ll be here to cheer you on throughout the process. Helping authors feel confident with their work is a goal I strive for each day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7d390d5bf80784baf88d0/1622729004482-2U524TFWF9XJMBM5KHZJ/IMG_2731.jpg About Me - A Little About Me My name is Beth, and I’m an avid reader, a mom, and a sourdough-obsessed baker. I live in the most adorable small town (someone should write a romance novel set here. Seriously!) in Michigan with my husband, two kids, and two dogs. I specialize in line editing, proofreading, and copyediting all types of romance fiction. I have completed copyediting courses through the Editorial Freelancers Association and a high-level proofreading course (Edit Republic) to achieve proficiency in proofreading and copyediting. I’ve also completed two line editing courses. One through the Editorial Freelancers Association and another through Edit Republic. Prior to becoming an editor, I was a first grade teacher, and I also spent a handful of years homeschooling my children. Teaching children to read is one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done. I love literature and love sharing it with the world. https://vbeditsromance.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2024-09-03 https://vbeditsromance.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-12-09
