Line Editing
Line editing is a more comprehensive service than copy editing. It entails not only a review of technical issues such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and agreement, but also of writing style at the sentence and paragraph level. Think of line editing as a more holistic review of your paper, focused on creativity; clear, precise, and succinct language; coherent presentation; logical organization; and overall flow of the content.
Line editing goes to the core of your intent for your paper: to ensure that it makes sense, presents its central thesis with clarity, and supports that thesis in clear and cogent language. A lively exchange between author and editor throughout the revision period would not be uncommon.
If you've been asked to "revise and re-submit" your paper, or if English is not your first language, you'll benefit greatly from our line editing service.
