My nonfiction content editing package consists of two rounds of hands-on, per-word editing, getting the nuts and bolts of your manuscript into shape and ready for its final stages.
Especially for new authors, content editing is a valuable process where we’ll look at the overall presentation of your material, tightening up phrasing and doing whatever we can to ensure that readers don’t have to work too hard to figure out what you’re saying.
Content Editing (two rounds)Content editing, otherwise known as substantive editing, is a more creative approach than copyediting. It’s perfect for authors looking for that next layer of help with their language and flow at a sentence- and paragraph level.
At the chapter and paragraph level, I’ll offer suggestions on how to streamline presentation of information within each chapter or section. At the sentence level, I’ll suggest tighter phrasing, smooth out dialog, and hunt for sticky bits I can clarify, condense, or otherwise enhance.
Depending on the project, content editing may include everything in a copyedit, or your manuscript may need to go through one final round of copyediting.
Not sure if content editing is right for your manuscript? Reach out to my company, Spoonbridge Press, and our project manager will get back to you as soon as possible with ideas for moving forward.
Thanks—and happy writing!
