Does Your Book Need Line Editing?

Line editing is the smoothing and polishing stage of editing. It is very much sentence-level editing, however, the focus is less about the inaccuracies of the actual writing (although the basic elements of the copy edit are covered where it has an impact on pace and clarity) and more about the way story is communicated to your reader.

A line edit will ensure clarity and readability, and will turn your great story idea into a perfectly executed novel. Better still, you will be able to see how those changes have been made. By seeing what the editor does to your writing, you will not only learn what needs attention, but exactly how to rectify it, strengthening your writing and self-editing skills.
