Editing Services

Services

No matter which stage of the writing process you’re in, I can lend a helping hand. 

To make sure I’m the right editor for you, I will complete a five-page complimentary sample edit on all projects to set pricing and to get a feel for what your manuscript needs. After that, we’ll schedule a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your expectations for the project and where I can answer any questions you might have.

At the conclusion of every project, I will include a comprehensive editorial report in addition to your edited manuscript.

See each of my offerings below for a breakdown of services.

Copy Editing

Every manuscript needs a professional polish. Copy editing takes a closer look at grammar, spelling, word usage, repetition, inconsistencies and formatting. With this level of editing, I’ll catch the times your character’s eye color changes and those pesky misspellings that happen to the best of us.

Pricing starts at $0.02/word 

Proofreading

You’ve made it to the final step in the editing process— your manuscript is complete, and all you need now is a good polish. I’ll take a magnifying glass to your manuscript to iron out those minor typos, formatting errors and inconsistencies.

Pricing starts at $0.02/word

Beta Reading

Every story needs a second set of eyes. With a beta read, I’ll evaluate your manuscript from a reader’s perspective and offer feedback on plot, characterization, dialogue, setting, pacing and overall strengths and weaknesses.

Pricing starts at $.0045/word

 

Sensitivity Reading

If you are looking for an assessment of your completed manuscript, sensitivity reading might be the next step. This evaluation is meant to spot representation issues, bias, stereotypes, and problematic language. 

Sensitivity topics I read for include:

  • Anxiety
  • Family issues
  • Physical/emotional/verbal abuse
  • Sexual assault
  • Rape

Pricing starts at $.01/word
