Copyediting for Indie Writers

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

Every project is different. Once I see a sample of the manuscript, I can provide an accurate price quote tailored to your project's 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.”
