Substantive Line Edit<\/h3>

I look very closely at your sentences and edit for clarity and meaning. This is a deep dive into your text that really tries to brings its beauty and coherence to the surface. With a substantive line edit, I look at your sentences as a reader trying to understand your text. I ask myself: Does the content of your sentences make sense and do your sentences follow logically from one to the other? If there are places where your sentences and\/or paragraphs could use some shifting around to help the readibility and development of your argument, I will make in-text changes where appropriate and offer suggestions in the comments.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Line edit <\/h3>

A line edit is for a text that has gone through a substantive line edit. It focuses on the more technical aspect of your sentences like punctuation, syntax, and grammar. I will make in-text changes where appropriate and offer suggestions in the comments.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Proofread<\/h3>

A proofread is for a text that has already gone through a substantive line edit, line edit, and copy edit. I will address any lingering punctuation, syntax, and grammar issues.
