The Deep Cut (Copyediting)

Copyediting that strengthens clarity, flow, and consistency without dulling your voice.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What This Includes

Line-by-line copyediting focused on readability, rhythm, and precision. Grammar, syntax, consistency, and clarity are refined while preserving your tone and narrative edge. This is not developmental editing; it's sentence-level refinement.
