TheBlips I want someone good with tenses and word choice

So, you want an editor, not a proofreader.

Proofreaders are only responsible for finding typos, grammatical errors, and missing/incorrect punctuation.

Am I understanding this correctly?

      Clowniac i dont want someone to change sentence structure. Just tenses and wor choice. I thought editors= line editing? Am i wrong?

          Editors are responsible for tense changes, word choice, and the sentence structure changes that ultimately end up resulting from changing tense and words within a sentence. They are also responsible for tone consistency, subtext, theme, characterization consistency, plot and structural monitoring to prevent plot holes and inconsistencies, etc.

          All of this, of course, in addition to proofreading.

          Does that make sense?

            Line editing is precisely focusing on word choice, rhythm, syntax and the overall strength of each sentence.
            Proofreading is really just checking grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors.

                Clowniac i always thought tenses and word choice is a parr of proofreading. Thanks for the info.

                        TheBlips I offer three kinds of editing services, i.e., I) editing your work normally; II) proofreading your already edited work; and III) grammatically editing.

                        I) It's just editing and checking lightly about word displacement or some wrong grammar. ($2/1.5k words).

                        II) It's about reading your already-finished work and editing light mistakes. ($1.5/1.5k words)

                        III) It's about checking and correcting grammar in your work. ($4/1.5k words)
