What is line editing and does your novel need it?

While developmental editing is for big-picture stuff (plot, structure, character arcs, etc.) and copyediting is about grammar and consistency, line editing is about making sure the prose is effective at a sentence level.

Good story, clunky sentences = readers putting your book down.

Great story, smooth prose = readers staying up too late because they can't stop.

Guess which one gets you published? ✨📖 #LineEditing

That sentence you've read 47 times and it still feels weird? Yeah, your readers will notice it too.

Line editing: because 'it sounds better in my head' isn't a publishing strategy. 😅

As a line-editor, I have to pick-and-choose my battles. Fighting with authors over using “he or she” rather than opting for the gender-neutral “they” isn’t ever going to get me far. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t heavily debate dying on that hill. #LineEditing #Editorial #WritingCommunity #LGBTQIA+

When I edit, I take a gentle approach. I want the author’s voice to shine through most of all. Even so… this is increasingly difficult because this author writes exclusively in run-on sentences and sentence fragments with little in-between. #Writing #Editing #LineEditing #Humor #WritingCommunity
