Line Editing

$0.039 per Word

As we’ve all experienced, it is difficult to catch your own mistakes. Line Editing provides that outside perspective to catch overlooked errors and lurking typos to give your work a professionally finished quality.

Your manuscript will be thoroughly reviewed to catch and correct any errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization and syntax. Light recommendations on word choice and improving overall readability will also be provided. Your copy editor will track every change and recommendation using Microsoft® Word so that you have the final say over what stays and what goes. 

*Note: Line Editing is also available in Spanish. For more information speak with your publishing consultant.

*There is a 5,000-word minimum charge for all editing services.

WestBow Press accepts a very low margin of error in each completed edit – no more than three percent of the total errors found. Our professional in-house editorial staff reviews each editorial service for quality assurance. Upon reviewing your edited manuscript, if you believe that an unsatisfactory number of errors remain, please create a list of the errors and the page numbers on which they appear and email it to editorial@westbowpress.com. We will review the list with you and address your concern.
