This evaluation will give you an idea of what steps come next. A positive critique may mean you need only proofreading to review your site or manuscript before it\u2019s published. A critical critique may mean your project needs more work, such as developmental editing to organize your writing or line editing to help with voice and tone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Line Editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of editing looks at content copy or manuscripts with a micro-view of the line-by-line copy. Here, I look for flow, clarity and tone and point out problems such as clich\u00e9s, run-on sentences, and poor pacing. (Though editing for punctuation and grammar are not the focus of a line editor, it\u2019s difficult to not do all of this at the same time. That\u2019s just how an editor\u2019s mind works. That said, you\u2019ll still need a copy edit.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"13\" src=\"https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1024x13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1024x13.png 1024w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-300x4.png 300w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-768x10.png 768w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1536x19.png 1536w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold.png 1687w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book Shepherding (a.k.a. Coaching)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the ever-increasing popularity of self-publishing, many newbie authors look for someone to guide them through the book-writing and publishing process. That\u2019s where a shepherd or coach comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shepherds or coaches are just as important as editors when it comes to self-publishing. We explain things like what is and why you need an ISBN and how to copyright your work. We help you with interior layout, front and back matter, and all the other things you didn\u2019t know you needed. We also help you structure your ideas and guide you through the editorial process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot afford a ghostwriter but want to write a book, hiring a shepherd or coach is the next best and affordable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need an editor?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Proofreading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The most critical, yet most overlooked part of the publishing process<\/strong>.&nbsp;<em>This is not the same as copy editing<\/em>. This is the final proof before going to print or publishing online. This is the last chance to catch typos, misplaced apostrophes and missing serial commas before your project is unchangeable. I also look for layout issues such as extra spaces, misnumbered pages and missing bylines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the time for theme changes, revisions, or anything more critical than correcting actual physical errors.&nbsp;<strong>Few online publications have proofreaders, so if you want perfect copy, you\u2019ll need to have this done on your own, which is where I come in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"13\" src=\"https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1024x13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1024x13.png 1024w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-300x4.png 300w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-768x10.png 768w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold-1536x19.png 1536w, https:\/\/fullcirclepress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Divider-Gold.png 1687w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dianefaulkner.com\/contact-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ready to put your ideas into print?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my\u00a0<a href=\"\/portfolio\/\"><strong>work samples<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"\/praise\/\"><strong>testimonials<\/strong><\/a>.
