Structural and Detailed Copy Edit

Home / Structural and Detailed Copy Edit

This is a detailed edit intended to edit your manuscript for structural defects and improve layout, readability and chapterisation, as well as tackle inaccurate or verbose language and erroneous grammar.

I’ll ensure that your thesis statement or hypothesis is heroed while your arrange case studies / anecdotes / examples supplement it in the best manner possible. I will identify any lacunae – do you need more or less of these? Is your point adequately coming through?

Depending on who your target audience is – layperson vs domain expert – I will tailor your book so that it gets through to your readers and achieves your purpose. For instance, if you are targeting laypersons, a judicious amount of detail and nuance should be sacrificed to condense the material and improve pace and retention.

I will review your citations and bibliography to ensure the correct source is cited and will also assess whether your sources are varied and present a detailed study of the subject matter or not. As you well know, a scholarly work can only be taken seriously when it has considered and reviewed past literature and ventured beyond it only a prudent and well-considered manner.

The above will be accompanied by a detailed language edit to improve sentence construction, paragraph placement and quality of vocabulary. It goes without saying that I will also conduct a thorough proofreading to weed out grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors.
