Structural and Detailed Copy Edit
Home / Structural and Detailed Copy Edit
This is a detailed edit to improve 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 case studies / anecdotes supplement it in the best manner possible. I will identify any logical lacunae to get your point through.
No matter who your target audience is – layperson vs domain expert – I will tailor your book such that it achieves its purpose. For instance, if you are targeting laypersons, perhaps 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 also assess whether your sources are diverse and present a detailed study of the subject matter or not. A scholarly work can only be taken seriously when it has done a deep literature review.
I will also carry out a detailed language edit to improve sentence construction, paragraph placement and quality of vocabulary. Lastly, there will be a thorough proofreading to weed out grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors.
