Line editing provides a detailed content review at the sentence and paragraph level. This edit will tighten sentence structure, improve clarity, ensure readability, eliminate redundancies or overused text, and sharpen word choice and tone while maintaining the author’s voice. Line editing typically makes revisions to most sentences in the text.
Copy editing is a micro-review of your manuscript that corrects grammar, punctuation, consistency, and spelling errors. It ensures clarity, correct word usage, and adherence to a specific style guide if needed.
