Welcome!
Getting ready to self-publish your novel? Thinking about how to make your manuscript stand out before submitting it to a publishing house? Need a keen eye to clean up your copy?
Pied Crow Editing provides individualised written language services for English media:
Text Editing
Creative and mechanical.
My priority as an editor is textual clarity, cohesion and flow – without erasing the author’s voice. You can expect me to wrangle misused grammar and punctuation, iron out clunky copy and dialogue, identify flow issues, and illuminate narrative holes.
Clients are welcome to request a free editing trial for their novella/novel.
Proofreading
The final stage of editing. The edited text is proofread to catch any remaining errors or catch errors introduced to the text during formatting.
Writing
Rather than just correcting errors, I will re-write and expand your existing copy to be clear, cohesive and pleasant to read – to your specifications.
Typing
Meticulous transcription of audio recordings and existing documents.
Accessibility
Disability accommodations are available.
Accommodations include (but are not limited to): making documents more accessible, providing verbal feedback, transcribing and editing audio copy/manuscripts, and improving communication to match the client's needs.
Clients are not required to name or explain their disability in order to receive accommodations; however, clients are welcome to provide additional information should they wish to.
