DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
Developmental editing is a collaboration between editor and author to enhance the manuscript's structure, narrative flow, and character development. It involves deep analysis and critique, focusing on the work's overarching elements to ensure coherence, engagement, and effective storytelling. This stage shapes the early drafts into a solid foundation for the final book.

LINE and COPY EDITING
Line editing is a comprehensive approach by the editor to enhance the author's prose at the sentence level. It focuses on language use, rhythm, and flow, eliminating redundancy and awkward phrasing to ensure each sentence is sharp and clear, improving the overall quality of the writing.
Copy editing is a meticulous process between editor and author to refine the manuscript's language, correct grammatical errors, ensure consistency in style and syntax, and verify factual accuracy. It polishes the text for clarity and readability without altering the author's voice.
At Author Cultivation, this is a combined service; no need to buy both.

PROOFREADING
Proofreading in books is the final stage of the editing process, where a proofreader meticulously scans the text for any remaining errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting. This step is crucial because it ensures the book is polished and professional before publication. It catches mistakes that may have been overlooked in previous edits, which is essential for maintaining the author's credibility and providing a seamless reading experience for the audience. Without thorough proofreading, a book risks distracting or confusing readers with preventable errors, potentially affecting the reception and success of the work.
Author Cultivation does not currently offer proofreading services.
