I will be accepting a few manuscripts for developmental editing over the next 6-9 months. This will be in exchange for a testimonial as I work on strengthening my delivery of this service. Please reach out if you are interested. Conditions apply.
Line Edits
Line edits (or style edits) help elevate your story! I’ll do a line-by-line edit, focusing on style, flow, and readability. I’ll offer suggestions to enhance your work. These might include word choice swaps, restructuring of passages, and pointing out repetitive language. All is done while maintaining your unique voice. There is little to no focus on grammar or spelling during this phase. This type of editing is typically before a copy edit.
This package includes one (1) revision and copy edit.
Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time but could be more, depending on word count. This timeframe does not include turnaround time for follow-up copy edit. Copy edit date must be determined at the of line edit scheduling. Please have ample time available for this service.
Workshopping help via email or messenger and one 1-hour Google Meet session (if needed). I’ll help you on those trickier edits and cheerlead you through the process!
Copy Edits
Copy editing focuses on grammar and spelling in an already edited manuscript. Creative license is considered because sometimes those commas are an artistic choice. This is a buffing before your final proofread!
This package includes one (1) revision and final proofread.
Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time but could be more, depending on word count. This timeframe does not include turnaround time for follow-up proofread. Proofread date must be determined at the time of copy edit scheduling. Please have ample time available for this service.
Proofread
The final proofread is the very last step in your manuscript before publishing. This is the final polish that makes your work shine! It’s the last pass to check for pesky grammar and spelling errors that slipped through the copy edit (because we’re all human!).
Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time but could be more, depending on word count.
Flat Fee Editing
Because indie publishing is an expensive venture, I strive to be as affordable as possible while doing my best to keep up with the challenging economy. My packages are priced competitively, but may change on a case-by-case basis. Now I also offer flat fee editing on select services as I work to meet the unique needs of every writer. At this time proofreading is not offered at a flat fee rate.
As always, please reach out with questions! If your budget is even tighter than listed below, we can try to work through it.
Please note: These flat fee services do not include revision passes or workshopping options. I can help clarify my suggestions, but I won’t revisit a project to see if you’re on the right track with edits.
Minimum of 4-6 week turnaround time for Developmental Edits
Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time for Line or Copy Edits, pending word count.
No post-revision passes. No complimentary workshopping sessions.
All services will require a $100 non-refundable booking fee to go toward the total cost of services. A 50% deposit is due by the scheduled date in order for services to begin, and the remaining balance is due before the edited file is delivered. Schedule changes happen, and I am willing to be as flexible as possible, so please contact me if you need additional accommodations.
