Copy/Line Editing

Copy/line editing takes a close look at spelling, grammar, syntax, structure, and clarity. Using MS Word Track Changes, corrections are made in the document itself. Explanations and client queries are provided in Comments as necessary.

Once I return the edited document, the client is free to accept or reject changes using the Track Changes program (I can guide you through this, if you need help). Document is then returned to me for final proofread.

"Cynthia P. Gallagher did an excellent job editing several chapters of my nursing dissertation. English is my second language, and Cindy explained and corrected the small writing inaccuracies common to ESL students. I would highly recommend her to students and professionals alike."

"While working on my master's degree in nursing, I struggled with writing, especially grammar, organization, flow, and focus. Cindy Gallagher helped me succeed in a program from which I was almost dropped early on because of my inadequate writing skills. With her patient guidance, I graduated with a 3.8 GPA!"
