Line Editing
Your manuscript has undergone developmental editing and you are happy with the content
You want a reader's perspective on how easy it is to read and follow along
You are ready to send it to publisher or resubmit to journal
You need to reduce the length without removing large sections
Is the tone of manuscript consistently engaging throughout?
Are the word choices apt and free of fluff, bias, and jargon?
Are there places to address complexity, verbosity, or abstraction?
Are sentences and paragraphs built for progression - taking the reader along?
Manuscript revision:
Inline updates (MS Word with track changes) for improved flow, consistency, and coherence
Extensive inline comments alongside the updates for open questions or alternative proposals
NOT included: heavy copyediting (abbreviations, capitalizations, numbers, fact checking etc.)
