Bringing you common-sense editing
Photo by Lourdes Venard, all rights reserved
Welcome! At Comma Sense, you will get more than an editor who crosses the T's and dots the I's. Beyond simple grammatical editing, you will get a strong look at all aspects of your article or manuscript -- are there gaps in your story? Are names and other factors consistent throughout? Is the correct tense being used? Is there a better way to structure a sentence, or even a chapter?
Why an editor? You may have read and reread your manuscript a dozen, a hundred, a thousand times even. But as the author, your eye may skip over missing words, since you know what you meant. You may also be too close to your work to be objective. As an editor, I can pick up on repetitions, inconsistencies, holes in the story, and other problems that a writer may have overlooked.
You want your manuscript to be noticed for its writing, and not for bad grammar, misspellings, or other problems. While I can’t guarantee that an agent or publisher will snap up your manuscript, I can guarantee that I will polish it to the best of my ability, giving you a better chance.
My aim is to keep your voice as a writer, while making it clearer and stronger. My services include everything from a light editing to more substantive rewriting and reshaping of the manuscript.
Good editing enhances good writing, and I hope to provide you with a final manuscript that not only will be error-free, but will be compelling writing. The goal, after all, is to help you achieve your goals.
