Line Editing​

• hones writing at the sentence level

• fine-tunes author style, clarity, word choice, rhythm, syntax, and fluidity​

• ensures consistency, clarity, and lean prose (no info-dumping, wordiness, etc.)

• allows the author’s voice to vibrantly come through 

• flags conscious language issues

• does basic fact-checking when needed or requested

• calls out point of view problems (e.g., head-hopping).
   

Line editing is not about the application of a style (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style), but rather it aims to help sentences be effective and compelling, serving the story and its readers.
