Editing Lane is a professional,  

individualized editing and  

proofreading service.  

As a professional editor, I have been helping writers take their manuscripts to the publishing phase for over 15 years. My editing and proofreading services are for writers of novels, non-fiction books, academic papers, short stories, poetry, children's books, and articles. 

I have worked successfully with authors, researchers, academics, journalists, and students. 

I offer a free editing sample of 1-2 pages in length (for long documents), along with a price quote. I maintain a one-on-one relationship with my clients and am easily accessible by phone or email. In addition to delivering superior editing and proofreading results, I always strive to tailor my services to fit your needs in the following ways: 

• The degree to which I maintain or change the content, structure, or style of your document 

• The pace and method of the editing or proofreading process, which is only finished when you say it is 

• Staying within deadlines 

A professional edit or proofreading will eliminate errors that could compromise your hard work and help you to make your manuscript or document the best it can be. A second pair of eyes is a definite asset in the writing process. Though each manuscript or document is unique from an editing or proofreading standpoint, I will ensure that it is clear, well organized, and free of grammatical errors, typos, and incorrect usage. Further, I will make sure that the style, tone, and formatting are appropriate and consistent throughout. Finally, for novels, non-fiction books, short stories, and verse, I will also focus, where appropriate, on such areas as character development, structure, plausibility, consistency, and tension.
