Developmental Edit
You have completed at least one draft of your story and done some self-editing and/or gotten some feedback from readers. Now you want a deep dive into the heart of your manuscript. I will look at all aspects of your manuscript from little elements of punctuation to big elements of storytelling. You will receive editorial comments with some in-text examples, an Author Letter overview with guidelines for revision, a Chapter Outline, and any other materials that may help you on your writing journey. You may request to include line editing. This service includes an optional, discounted Copy Edit after your changes.
Timeline: 8-10 weeks. Price: $11 per 1000 words. $13 with line edit.
Line/Copy Edit
You have completed multiple drafts of your story and gotten feedback from readers. Now you want a new perspective on your manuscript. I will check grammar and punctuation as well as look for ways to curb repetition and wordiness in favor of stronger, more precise word choices to convey your intended meaning. You will receive in-text technical corrections and suggestions, and editorial comments. You may choose a light or heavy edit. This service includes an optional, free Round 2 Copy Edit or Proofread after your changes.
Timeline: 4-6 weeks. Price: $9 per 1000 words. $8 light edit.
Nonfiction Editing
You have written a newsletter, article, essay, or other nonfiction project. You may have been working on one long piece or multiple short pieces. Now you're looking for a fresh pair of eyes. I will check for clarity of ideas, overall flow of the piece, and double-check citations, if necessary. You may request either a Copy Edit or Proofread. You will receive editorial comments, and technical corrections and suggestions based on your chosen editing level.
Timeline and Price will vary based on the details of the package.
Custom Editing Packages
You're seeking editorial services, but you're not sure what you're looking for or you'd like something not mentioned here. Maybe you'd like to pursue multiple rounds of editing for a novel, or you write a weekly newsletter you'd like to have proofread before sending. Custom packages like this and more are available! We will discuss your project and plans, and decide the best course of action to meet your goals together.
