Copyediting
The Five Cs of Copyediting - Clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent.
​
Copyediting is done after developmental editing if you so choose that editing process. Copyediting involves using a professional eye to correct errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency of facts, plot, and timeline, as well as the overall flow of your manuscript.
There will be extensive corrections and comments made by Raven throughout your manuscript with suggestions to improve the clarity of expression, but also on scenes they absolutely love that brought out some sort of reaction from them.
​
A proofread is highly recommended after this service.
​
Turnaround time for an average manuscript of 50k words is 10-14 business days.
​
The final quote and turnaround time will be determined on an individual basis, depending on word count and level of editing required.

Starting at $0.0055 per word.

Proofreading
Proofreading is the final step in the editing process. This service involves checking for style, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and word usage. Proofreading is the final read-through of your edited manuscript. It is assumed at this point that your manuscript has been through editing and should have minimal errors.
​
It is possible Raven will still leave comments throughout the manuscript during proofreading, especially at the scenes they adore.
​
Turnaround time for an average manuscript of 50k words is 5-7 business days.
​
The final quote and turnaround time will be determined on an individual basis, depending on word count and level of editing required.

Blurb Editing
Book blurbs can be understandably overwhelming to write after all the time and effort put into your novel. These blurbs are a crucial aspect of book sales—especially if you self-publish primarily via e-books. Blurbs with grammatical mistakes can really determine if someone chooses to read your novel.
Blurb editing includes checking for clarity, flow, spelling, syntax, and grammar. Blurbs are typically 200-300 words, and they should be concise, clear, and comprehensible.
