Line Editing

$0.03 per word, $200 minimum. All work prepaid.

How Line Editing Works

Email your Microsoft Word file. Bobbie repairs typographical errors as well as flaws in grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and noncompliance with Chicago style, the style preferred by book publishers. Track changes show every correction in red so you can accept or reject any you choose and maintain your personal writing style.

Line editing is especially helpful for business publications and nonfiction books.

Cost

The price for line editing is three cents ($0.03) a word based on the word count in Microsoft Word, with a $200 minimum per submission. All work is prepaid.
