Line-Editing

$20/hr Starting at $40

Along with basic proofreading, line editing focuses on the way you use language to convey meaning to your audience. Is your language clear, fluid, and pleasurable to read? Do the words you've chosen convey a specific and precise meaning, or are they generalized, cliche, or unclear? As a line editor, I will draw your attention to issues like redundancy, overused phrases, run-on sentences, unnatural wording, tonal shifts, transitions, digressions, structure, point-of-view, diction, pacing, and more. This rigorous editing method focuses on enhancing and clarifying the meaning of your project.

Anthony William says,

Lena Nguyen is something special. And I am not limiting this accolade to copyediting. Admittedly, this was my first project but as soon as Lena connected with me via Guru.com she eased the concerns I had with the process. She is remarkably professional while maintaining an open, transparent, and cooperative approach to copyediting. Lena possesses a rare emotional literacy that allows her to be a trusted and valuable companion through the difficult final stages of perfecting an author’s prized work. I can only hope that I will be in the position to work with Lena again, in the future.
