Copyediting & line editing

Edit & refine

Detailed sentence-level editing for clarity, rhythm, consistency, grammar, usage, references and alignment with an agreed editorial style.

Copyediting corrects and regularises; line editing improves the movement and force of the prose. The scope is agreed before work begins so the author can distinguish correction from optional editorial intervention.
