Freelance Editing

     Every writer can benefit from the impartial eye of a skilled editor. Whether you need help finalizing your manuscript for an agent or publisher, are planning to self-publish, or simply require assistance in the preparation of a narrative or written material, Cope Editing offers a comprehensive set of skilled professional services. I am adept at improving your project's overall organization and presentation as well as trimming the bloated manuscript, an exercise many writers may find difficult.

     It is vital to the success of a writing project that the writer feel comfortable with his or her editor. Can you trust the editor to make needed changes while keeping your voice and style intact?  Does your editor have a firm grasp of not only the basics of grammar, spelling and punctuation, but the nuances of language, usage and style?  Is she thorough, responsive, timely, affordable? 

     On this web site, I invite you to read about my services, review some of the projects and publications I've edited in the past, and have a look at a few client testimonials.  Then judge for yourself whether my editing services are a good fit for you and your project.  Your feedback on this site is more than welcome.  Thanks for stopping by.
