Manuscript Line Editing
Get your manuscript polished and ready to send to printers and publishers.
​
I'll help you rework and rephrase your complex ideas into elegant, clear sentences, line by line.
​
I have an exceptional ear for tone and will preserve your unique voice and style while sharpening and polishing your prose.
Line editing is usually performed ahead of the copy editing.
Copy Editing
Let's tighten and sharpen your writing.
I'll help you make your ideas clear, elegant, powerful, and professional.
Common miscues include grammar infractions, verb tense agreement, punctuation, spelling, typos, regionalization (i.e. British/Canadian stylization), capitalization, homonym errors, sentence structure... you name it.
I will catch it, so we can fix it.
"That's a great catch!"
Proofreading
I'm your final set of discerning eyes—and your last line of defense—before publication.
​​
I have a knack for spotting the smallest details or miscues that we miss during the editing stage.
​​
I'm proud to make those "great catches" for you before any tiny mistakes go public—that odd extra space, lost period, or missing quotation marks.
Mike's work made my
finished project truly shine!
As a seasoned writing coach,
Mike consistently pushed for clarity, precision, and strength in every sentence.
Mike was an exceptional collaborator on my vocabulary book, with edits that were consistently sharp and thoughtful.​
​
He caught the tiniest typos and stylistic errors and pointed out where entries needed more nuance.
​​
I also deeply appreciate Mike's professionalism and responsiveness. He tracked time transparently, communicated quickly across time zones, and was generous with his time to help me meet a tight deadline.​​
