Copyediting

SERVICES

The last thing you want is someone stumbling through the process of reading your book. Sentences are jumbled. The syntax (sentence structure) is confusing. Readers have to reread sentences or paragraphs to grasp what you're trying to say, and even then, they're not sure if they understood it as you intended.

Most often, in this case, the book won't be finished. And if it's not even finished...

Well, any point you're trying to make or image you're attempting to convey will be moot. Reviews will be nonexistent or worse, rated 2 stars or lower, hiding your book from potential new readers (and book sales) by way of Amazon's algorithm.

With 10 years of experience copywriting, content writing, and editing online publications and 4.5 years in the book writing and publishing industry, my expertise lies in ensuring your writing flows well and reads easily. If not to make your writing more enjoyable to read, then to guarantee readers walk away learning all that you want them to.

Developmental Editing

SERVICES

Have you ever read a book that felt confusing and disjointed, like the pieces weren't connected even though they seemed similar enough? You can't put knowledge together and truly retain it unless it's laid out in a certain order. It becomes easier to remember, the information is retained better, and the reader truly learns because of it.

The order and structure of giving information matters—especially in books.

This is what developmental editing helps you accomplish. What you know, and therefore want to teach or get out by way of your book, needs a certain structure to help it hit home. This structure isn't intuitive. After all, we're not taught how to structure a book.

Well, you weren't. I was, and my specialty lies in instructional design: how to teach information in a way that allows people to learn, retain, and best use it. After all, the amount someone learns and how they use it is what leads them to leave 5-star, raving reviews that trigger the Amazon algorithm to promote your book to new readers.

With 10 years of experience both writing and editing for online educational publications, the last 4.5 of which spent in the writing and publishing industry, my expertise lies in the development and structure of relaying writing in a way that consumers can best understand.
