A line edit is what it sounds like: a close examination of every line. It looks at the writing itself: sentence structure, readability, and style, to make sure every word is thoughtfully chosen. Line edits also include corrections to spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Along with these, a line editing package will point out inconsistencies in description, point of view, and tense. A line edit will include tracked changes in your document and in-line comments as necessary.
