It’s a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.-Andrew Jackson
Editing takes many forms.
Have a look on the right in the dropdowns.
I do not at this time do a fourth type of editing called Developmental, the one where you bring me the idea and I work it up with you from concept to finished idea. Nor do I at this time offer Manuscript Evaluation (although you do get a lot of feedback of the sort when I copyedit because I can’t hold back if I see some things that I think will help).
Copyediting (or copy editing, both spellings are correct) is your best bet. I tend to do a lot of proofreading along the way.
And a second copy edit is included in the original price (unless you hand me back new chapters or substantially rewritten chapters; that’s just like starting from square one for me and incurs a *tip*, if you get my meaning).
Also, if you have me format your book, I tend to proofread at the same time, so you get a twofer there too.
The lines in editing are rather blurred, as you have probably read elsewhere. And every editor is a unique person like you are. Find the person who is a good fit for the price, and you will have a tip-top manuscript to submit.
