The copyedit is the “nuts-and-bolts” edit.It looks at and corrects all the things that hold the story together. Unlike other types of edits based on what works best in fiction, copyeditors make corrections based on grammar rules. (The black and white vs. the coloring pages)
About
About Joleen
As an avid reader of Christian Fiction, I couldn't help but dive into the world of editing. I love serving people in this part of the writing journey. While the bottom line is important, I want writers to feel supported. The best way I can support writers is by analyzing and seeing patterns in their writing and help create a better solution to what they are trying to say. I work best when I am able to get to know the raw material and become familiar with the authors, their heart, their passions. When I do this, I can make sure it comes out in the author's writing, while also clearly communicating to the audience. My superpower is being able to pick up on the subtleties. When it comes down to it, I am a designer of a better way of doing things. Not because "getting a book out there" matters but because the author and the readers matter.
