What is Line Editing?
Line editing focuses on the creative and stylistic aspects of your writing. It improves how your ideas are expressed and how smoothly your sentences read. Line editing includes:
- Improving sentence flow, rhythm, and readability
- Clarifying meaning and eliminating ambiguity
- Enhancing tone, voice, and narrative style
- Adjusting wordiness, repetition, or awkward phrasing
- Ensuring consistency in voice and message
Line editing is perfect for writers who want to elevate their language and connect more deeply with their audience.
How is Line Editing Different from Copy Editing?
Copy editing corrects grammar and consistency, while line editing shapes your writing’s style, energy, and effectiveness. If your draft feels rough or uneven, a line editor will help bring it to life by focusing on how your ideas are communicated — not just how they’re structured.
Who Needs Copy Editing?
Our line editing clients include:
- Novelists or memoirists polishing their narrative style
- Nonfiction authors refining clarity and argument flow
- Coaches and professionals writing personal brand content
- Creators of course material, blog posts, or long-form content
- Thought leaders aiming for a strong, engaging tone
