Copyediting for Indie Authors

If you're happy with the structure of your book, you're ready for a sentence-level copyedit. Learn more about what to expect in the editing process.

I will focus on the following areas:

  • spelling, punctuation, grammar
  • usage and other mechanics of style
  • consistency in capitalization and hyphenation
  • consistency in abbreviations, numbers, and names
  • overall clarity, consistency, and correctness

​You will also receive
  • an editorial report on your overall strengths and areas to improve your writing.
  • a style sheet of all the editorial decisions on treatment of capitalization, hyphenation, abbreviations, numbering

Price: Every project is different. Once I see a sample of your manuscript, and we chat about your goals, I can provide a detailed proposal tailored to your needs.
I can’t wait to work with her for my next novel!

“Working with Erika was so helpful in polishing my novel. I think the edits are marvelous and made the story much sharper and engaging, shoring up my weaknesses. It’s been so nice to see my thoughts translated into something quicker and more crisp. The editorial assessment was so helpful. So many light bulbs went off in my head. The feedback she offered taught me how I can improve my writing, and it’s inspired me to write better already.”
