Academic or technical editing

Developmental Editing

A big-picture review to strengthen structure, clarify your message, and ensure your story flows with purpose and power. Includes margin notes and actionable recommendations.

Proofreading

A final polish to catch spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors before your book goes to print or publishing.
