What is Line Editing?
Line editing is the next step in publishing your novel, scrutinizing it sentence-by-sentence. Though fixing grammatical and mechanical mistakes is necessary, this specific stage of editing is about the language, making your work more concise, agonizing over that one word that brings it all together. Line editing works at the paragraph and sentence level of a project, making suggestions for rewriting or reorganizing sentences and passages to smooth it out so the story glides from beginning to end. This is where an adequate book can become a novel readers don't want to put down.
Line editing focuses on:
- the book's clarity and flow - word choice - phrasing - consistency - awkward sentences, passages and paragraphs |
- transitions in your story - reorganizing paragraphs and passages - providing suggestions for tweaking, adjusting and rewriting any necessary components |
