- From correcting simple grammar and spelling errors to building a graceful flow in your book.....
Editing : Guiding Your Masterpiece
- The Editing process includes the proofreading process, but the MS still needs to be proofread once more.
- Content and Story Progress are carefully examined.
- Flow and Transitions are normalized.
- Character Development and "Evaluation"
- Meticulous about consistency!
- After I complete my first editing round with your MS, I will send it back for you to go through every suggestion I made. After your revisions, I will edit the new-MS in a similar manner, if necessary.
I want the Best for YOU, so I work hard to reveal the Best Version Of YOUR BOOK!!
Proofreading : Perfecting Your Masterpiece
- The Proofreading process comes after editing.
- Word Usage is carefully examined, and when rephrasing is needed, numerous Suggestions are provided.
- Grammar, Syntax and Spelling errors are ALL highlighted and corrected on the comments section.
- Meticulous about consistency and phrasing matching each character.
- Fast Like The Flash! This task will be completed within 2 or 3 days after receiving your book.
Beta-Reading/Critique
- Beta-Reading or Critique is basically feedback on your story. Is the story intriguing enough? Is that character interesting enough? Does the story flow nicely and effortlessly? Do they like your book? All these questions are answered. Certain errors, like spelling/grammar etc, can be highlighted, but remember! You don't talk to an editor now; you talk to a reader!
- The critique provided is honest and objective. Why hire a beta reader? Because that perfect scene that you love so much may not be that perfect. Because the story may have loopholes and leave questions unanswered. Every author needs an extra pair of eyes that don't focus on the rules but the story itself. I have been a book reviewer for three years now, and read tons of books -Indie, traditionally published, etc. I can pinpoint the extra-something you may need to make your book greater. My comments will be honest, but you may find an emoticon here and there...We are human, after all...
- Beta Reading may occur: 1) after your personal rewriting/revision sessions (polished first draft) and before editing 2) after your MS has been edited and revised, and before proofreading 3) after proofreading.
- I can personally provide this service or I can contact a list of Beta-Readers.
