Line and Developmental Editing

Line editing is where the precision happens. It addresses the small details - clarity, flow, and style - line by line, in a more laser focus than copy editing, making sure each sentence shines. Actually, this is a refinement step that not only makes your words readable but also memorable. Every misplaced comma, all the awkward phrasing, and the transitions that sound clunky get smoothed out so that your voice is clear and consistent.

Developmental editing is big-picture work. It's a moment to take a step back and take in your entire story or content. Does the structure make sense? Are the themes powerful? Are there gaps to fill or parts that need trimming? We help you reshape and refine your message to resonate from start to finish. We make sure your content isn't just written-it's crafted.

Both line and developmental editing are critical in making your writing shine. It is the line editing that gives a polished, professional finish to your words, while developmental editing provides a substantial, coherent backbone.

At A Paige Works, we’re here to help you get it just right, and why we include both editing styles in this package.
