Stylistic editing, also called line editing, occurs at the sentence level. It focuses on polishing your prose and eliminating awkward phrasing that readers might find confusing or distracting. I will:

  • Correct grammar and usage (word choice) errors

  • Rephrase and reorder sentences to improve clarity when necessary

  • Eliminate jargon, wordiness, and redundancies that can bog down prose

  • Smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs so they progress logically

  • Ensure that the tone and reading level are appropriate for the intended audience

Although stylistic editing involves rephrasing, I make every effort to preserve your authorial voice.
