YOUR ART, MY CRAFT
A good copy editor doesn’t just make sure your commas are properly placed. That’s only where the job begins.
A good copy editor makes sure your vision for your book comes through as clearly and elegantly as possible. That your paragraphs flow like a stream tumbling over rocks. That your sentences are crystal clear and the words within them sparkle with just the right meaning.
A good copy editor makes sure that the structure of your plot is solid. That your characters move through space in ways that the laws of physics support. That your historical references are accurate, celebrities’ names are spelled correctly, and if you reference a real town, that the streets you name really exist.
A good copy editor gets to know the characters in your book well enough to recognize and flag when they stray out of character or behave in ways counter to human nature.
And a good copy editor does all this and more without interfering with your voice as a writer. A good copy editor has a good ear for when to follow the rules and when to break them.
Let me show you what a good copy editor can do for your book.
