Corrections

choices, tone and tenses. It also includes suggestions for changing badly structured, or badly worded sentences and paragraphs
to ensure both sentence and script clarity, consistency in the characters and the time line of the story, and an overview
of the story itself. It does include any dating inaccuracies within the story's time frame but it will not include "rewriting"
a manuscript, i.e. taking the basic story and writing it again. Nor will it include factual inaccuracies. This service is
not suitable for technical manuscripts. At this editing level, any queries or questions from the author will also be addressed,
where possible, and if deemed necessary, a second reading will be done. The edit will take between four and five weeks, but
if the client has an urgent deadline, this can be discussed. Acceptable formats: Word or any Office program that can be easily
modified. No PDFs accepted.
