How Hybrid Editing Works

You email me your Microsoft Word document. First I line edit the document to repair typographical errors as well as flaws in grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, or noncompliance with Chicago style, always careful to maintain your writing style. Track changes will show my corrections in red so you can accept or reject any you choose.

Next I perform a developmental edit. For fiction a developmental edit ensures plot consistency, proper pacing, and satisfying story arcs. For nonfiction it ensures the information flows well and is clear and organized. The report may include suggestions to increase the marketability of the manuscript.

Hybrid editing is especially helpful to fiction writers and those who want to glean the knowledge of a professional editor.

People who use hybrid editing are writers eager to improve their books as much as possible, learn from the experience, and apply what they have learned to future books. They appreciate the ease of not having to make the corrections themselves.
