Editing Services

EVERYONE needs an editor they can trust., someone who can spot that extra space or missing letter without trying and help keep us from going over a grammatical cliff or sliding down a consistency ravine while preserving our voice and supporting our vision.

​

I hope I can be that for you.

​​

HOW I WORK: 

  1.  For a copy edit or proofread, you'll send me a ten-page sample from the middle of your late-stage (no first or second drafts) novel manuscript for $20.00, to be paid in advance via PayPal or Venmo.

  2. I'll review and mark up a PDF using Adobe Acrobat.

  3. I will email you the PDF, along with a short message letting you know how long it took me to review the sample (ten double-spaced pages should take about one hour), as well as an estimate for how long it would take me to complete the entire text based on the sample.

  4. If you like the way we work together, I will apply the $20 to your bill, and ask for a deposit of 50% of the estimated total to start the review of your choice.

  5. After I finish the job, I will ask for the balance be paid before I email the marked-up PDF back to you.

Copy Edit $35/hour

Also called a line edit. During this review, I will be on the lookout for wonky sentence construction, consistency issues, repetition (eg, pesky word echoes) and other such grammar-related issues.

Proofread $25/hour

The nit-picker review. You've had your line (or copy) edit, and you've polished those descriptions until they sparkle. I will do a close read and make sure everything is good to go.
