Substantive Editing
Looking for someone to help you catch all those pesky cohesion issues? Worried that your commas are off the charts? I can help! Substantive editing looks at the global picture of a chapter or a paragraph and helps you put your words in the right order leading to the best overall picture for your readers. Sometimes called line editing, substantive editing will polish your manuscript and pull the whole story together, focusing on a sentence level edit.
