It's time for a substantive editor to take over!
Writing a text is hard. But what no-one tells you is that the best texts aren’t written by only one person! Instead, the best writers have a great editor who can help them make the text say what they want it to say through their manuscript editing services. This, I think, is the best-kept secret in publishing.
What that means is that if you struggle to make your text perfect, that doesn’t mean you’re bad at this! It just means that you need a substantive editor, just like everyone else.
A substantive editor sits between a copy editor (who corrects your spelling and grammar) and a developmental editor (who focuses on the structure of your text). They are also called a content editor, a macro editor, or a line editor. As your substantive editor, it is my job to help you figure out what you want to say and then find the right words to communicate that message to your reader. That is how I can help you make your text the best it can be, with my manuscript editing services.
