Manuscript Editing
“I don’t think my work has ever been read so carefully before.”
-Client at Cornell University
I typically start my developmental editing process for books with a manuscript assessment—though if you’re confident in your book’s structure and argumentation, I also offer line editing as a stand-alone service. Not sure what services you need? Email me at ellen@tiliaeditorial.com and we can set up a free phone or Zoom consultation.
Manuscript Assessment
A thoughtful critique and personalized revision plan in one detailed editorial letter. The manuscript assessment gives you a path forward so that you can tackle revisions with renewed energy, purpose, and confidence.
Structural Editing
Deep structural work focused on presenting arguments clearly. Structural editing can get you “unstuck” if you’ve been struggling to clarify your sub-arguments, make needed cuts, or arrange your material in a cohesive sequence.
Line Editing
Line-by-line editing focused on clarity and flow. I tighten and shape your prose and note any gaps in the argument, helping you to effectively communicate your points to your readers.
