Line editing
A line edit is a deep-dive into the style and sentence structure of a piece of writing. More nuanced than its cousin the copy edit — the line edit is crucial in creating a smoother reading experience.
Copy Editing
After the line edit is done, it's time to get into the technical nitty-gritty with a copy edit — focusing on grammar, syntax, punctuation, stylistic consistency., and overall readability to get ready for publishing.
Formatting
Formatting focuses on the visual aspects of a document — margins, fonts, chapter headings, spacing, page breaks, etc.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the very last step before publishing. The final read-through to catch every remaining typo and error.

Circulus: Book 1 of The Tenebris Trilogy Gather inspiration from this dark urban fantasy by award winning author H D Nelson. I am so proud of my client and to be a part of bringing this amazing work of fiction to life. — Book Banshee Click HERE to learn more!Circulus
Nestled in the forest amongst old-growth trees and ancient flora, sits the idyllic small town of Oneoff. Rich in history as a once-booming hub, this sleepy little hamlet has been withering in economic decay for over a decade. When Shayleigh Brogan blows into town with big plans to breathe new life into Oneoff, everyone is buzzing with excitement. Everyone, that is, except for Lucas. Lucas McCallen is the town’s stoic young sheriff. His entire life has been spent running from the mythic lore of his family’s haunted past. When the rumor mill churns with excitement, all his instincts scream resistance until Ms. Brogan stumbles onto an old crime scene and unleashes an evil entity. His house of cards begins crumbling as he races to unravel the vile history of the town’s namesake with his own ancestors’ involvement. Only if he accepts his magical heritage, and releases his delusions of safety, will he be able to fight for what he loves. He can’t run from his destiny forever… and the darkness is rising.a Word from the author, H D Nelson
Simply HAD to share my thoughts on Book Banshee's incredible editing services. As a prolific writer, my novels can be quite heavy to wade theough. My latest novel, Circulus, was a tidy 150k words before the trimming began. As a touch of an "overwriter" I was careful to choose an editor who could "murder my darlings" without losing my voice or the stylized nuances of my characters, and Breanna delivered in spades! She quickly captured the unique character stylings of each bit of dialogue, and dug in quickly to turn around a polished piece of fiction in timely fashion Her insights were spot on and never once did I feel like she altered the voice of my characters, nor myself as the author. Professional, capable, and delivered exactly what she promised.... exactly as she promised. I will DEFINITELY use Book Banshee again in the future!★★★★★
