Copyediting

  • Whether it’s a novel, grant proposal, white paper, or blog entry…
  • Whether it’s a textbook, how-to guide, memoir, or children’s book…
  • Whether it’s for businesspeople, students, retirees, or people who read just for fun…

Your writing needs to be correct to have credibility with your audience because sloppy writing suggests sloppy thinking. Also, every time a reader trips over a mistake, he is thrown out of your narrative and distracted from your ideas. No writer can catch her own errors because writing and editing use different faculties. This is why every writer needs a copyeditor.

During copyediting, we at Fleming Editorial ensure that your grammar, usage, punctuation, and spelling are correct. We also adjust paragraphs and sentences that read awkwardly or imprecisely so your readers won’t need to work hard to understand your ideas. Clarity is key to grabbing your reader’s attention, so we make sure that your writing is crystal clear. If your work contains references, we make sure they are complete and formatted correctly. Finally, we are skilled at applying styles to your Word manuscript so that it flows readily into layout; styles create the underlying code that your compositor’s software will render into the correct look for each typographical element in your book.
