You need a professional to tighten sentences, remove distractions, and point out inconsistencies in the story while still maintaining your voice.


What is a Line Edit?

A Line Edit focuses on sentence structure, style, consistency, and targeted corrections to remove distractions while preserving and elevating your unique voice. It is a substantive edit to ensure your writing flows smoothly, maintains consistency, and communicates your story with clarity and precision.

You should consider a Line Edit when you are satisfied with your story’s content, plot, and overall structure but want expert guidance to strengthen your writing craft and prose.

A note on scope: A Line Edit focuses strictly on prose style, sentence mechanics, and readability. It does not focus on big-picture story development or structural revisions.
