Line Editing

We are committed to providing the best resources to our authors to help them get an error-free and grammatically correct manuscript. Line editing encompasses copy editing, but line editors do much, much more than simply correcting grammatical errors. And our Meta Canvas-affiliated editors are happy to take those extra steps. Our line editors examine each individual sentence as a whole and suggest changes that improve readability.

Line Editing Is a Boon for Our Authors

Why? Line editing goes beyond the scope of standard copyediting to also correct word usage, verbosity, sentence structure, and content organizational issues. In addition, it provides feedback and suggestions on dialogue, flow, characterization, tone and style, and point of view when the content has or requires these elements.

Frequently Asked Questions




Who is line editing for?

Meta Canvasโ€™s line editing services are for authors who want to make sure everything is perfect before their book is published. You can rest assured that our line editors will always aim to ensure that your bookโ€™s voice and personality remain untarnished.

Will editors make changes to my book without telling me?

Absolutely not! Every editorial change will be tracked, and you (the author) reserve the right to accept or reject every edit. Only the changes that you desire will be made permanent. You can alert the editor to any edits you feel are unnecessary, and the editor will uphold your decisions.

Is there anything line editing cannot do?

Line editing is geared toward improving sentence structure, word choice, and flow in addition to correcting grammatical errors. However, there are limitations to what you can expect with this service.

  • Line editing cannot help you identify logical errors or plot holes.
  • Line editing will not add new content to the manuscript.
  • Line editing will help you flag certain holistic errors in book structuring, but not correct them.
  • Line editing will not touch the core story or its presentation, leaving the authorโ€™s voice intact.

How is line editing different from other forms of editing?

Line editing is geared toward improving sentence structure, word choice, and flow in addition to correcting grammatical errors. Grammatical mistakes can distract readers and make for a poor reading experience. Poor sentence structure and word choice can often leave readers apprehensive about continuing with the book regardless of how great the story may otherwise be. So, if you feel your book could do with better sentence structure, word choice, and improved flow, line editing is an editing option you can consider. If youโ€™re hoping for a higher level of intervention such as plot suggestions, story progression suggestions, or content organization, please check out our developmental editing service.
