All-Inclusive Content & Line Editing

The works. In addition to thoroughly scrutinizing the writing, this option allows for a detailed analysis of the story, including plot, dialogue, tone, structure, coherence, characterization, etc.

Line Editing

A straightforward investigation into the written construction of your story, providing corrections and feedback on grammar, sentence structure, diction, style, progression, as well as typos and smaller errors.

Proofreading+

This encompasses a close reading of the work in order to resolve any outstanding typographical errors or glaring grammatical errors that remain immediately prior to publication. Light grammar support included.

One of the best ways to handle editing, either as an editor or an author, is through the collaborative networking site Reedsy.com. Their system makes it easy to handle projects, share files, communicate, and handle payments, which leaves me and the authors I work with more time and energy to focus on making their stories the best they can be. I’ve successfully completed well over one hundred projects on Reedsy and am always impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm of the people I come into contact with there.

One of my favorite reviews is from fantasy author Andrew Richards, who wrote: “Jason was incredible to work with. He was able to provide an outstanding copy edit in record time, which gave me a lot of breathing room with my upcoming launch. Despite the speed of his work, he was extremely diligent in his edits, catching everything from near-invisible typos to issues of clarity or minor contradictions. He paid special attention to two areas of concern I raised, and addressed these issues on top of everything else he had his eye on. Can’t say enough good things about my experience working with him.”
