What is line editing?

A line edit looks at aspects such as voice, readability, and flow. This is not the same as a copy edit, which addresses spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.

A line edit takes an artistic approach to improve your prose and effectiveness while maintaining your voice as an author.

Includes: one pass with in-line edits and marginal comments, a style sheet, and an editorial letter.
