The Technical Edit

You've created a world where love is a beautiful, terrible trap and every shadow holds a new terror. But even the most potent darkness needs a guiding hand to ensure its power doesn't beed out through a thousand tiny, distracting cuts. Don't let a misplaced comma break the spell of your carefully crafted terror or pull a reader from a moment of intense romance. Your readers expect an immersive escape; my copyediting service ensures your manuscript provides a flawless journey to the dark side. 


Here's how this service can help:


  • Initial Read-Through: Your manuscript is read with an eye attuned to the specific nuances of dark romance and horror, understanding the intended atmosphere and voice. 


  • Line-by-Line Refinement: Meticulously addressing the grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, punctuation issues, and awkward syntax that could interrupt the reader's immersion in the dream and desire.

 

  • Readability & Flow: Restructuring sentences for maximum impact, clarity, and pacing to maintain a seamless flow that keeps your readers hooked. 


  • Consistency Check: Ensuring continuity across character details, timelines, locations, and formatting to maintain the immersive dark atmosphere.  


  • Delivery: The edited manuscript is returned, sharpened and refined, ready to fly ensnare its audience. 

What's Included

With the copy edit service, you will receive: 


  • one complete and thorough copy edit of your manuscript


  • your draft returned with edits, comments, and suggestions made via Track Changes


  • An editorial letter (typically 2-5 pages) 


  • a personalized style sheet to record preferences for editorial decisions throughout your novel and/or series


  • one hour of follow-up support over email


All edits are made using The Chicago Manual of Style and Track Changes unless otherwise requested.
