Copyedit (Line Edit)
Your editor marks the manuscript line by line to help tighten the prose. Marks are made in red so that you can see what the issue and learn as you go. Issues addressed include:

• Monitoring style consistency throughout the manuscript
• Flagging continuity errors and significant plot holes

• Character arcs and conflict
• Pacing and tension
• Exposition vs. Dialogue
• Telegraphing
• Scene structure
• Overall structure and themes
