Services
“I think I need a proofreader – but maybe I need an editor.
Hang on, what’s the difference?”
The editing pyramid:
Developmental editing
is a service that some writers, particularly book authors, need to obtain professional feedback and advice on big picture items. Think structure, plot, characterisation and pacing.
Line editing
is in-depth editing at word and sentence level to improve flow, clarity, tone and fluency. This kind of editing is sometimes described as being “more art than science” as it can be quite involved.
Copyediting
is more technical and mechanical. It’s the stage that focuses on style and formatting to ensure accuracy and consistency. This gives your writing a professional and tidy finish.
Proofreading
is the final error check that all writers need to invest in! It’s dedicated quality control of text and layout to guarantee perfection and give you peace of mind.

The
Investment
Please get in touch for a bespoke quote. To provide a quote, I will need to see a representative sample of your text. For example, if you have written a book, I’ll need to see a chapter. If you’d like me to edit SEO articles, I will need to see an article by the same writer.
I base my prices on those recommended by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
I am happy to discuss retainer agreements.
If you’re unsure about which service you and your writing need, get in touch. Once I have seen a sample of your text, I will be able to give you a free, bespoke quote.
