Short Story Proofreading
And Editing

As part of our short story editing services, we can:

  • Eradicate any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors
  • Make edits for readability, focusing on sentence structure
  • Check that text and dialogue are correctly presented
  • Preserve your authorial voice throughout
  • Offer thoughtful suggestions to help you improve your story

And when we’re done, we’ll provide two copies of your edited document:

  • A ‘Clean’ copy in the original file format
  • An MS Word Track Changes copy with all edits highlighted

You can use this second copy to review our work, so you are always in control of the final draft. And if you’re using a file format that doesn’t support Track Changes, we will adapt our process to match.
