I edit your work.
I eat editing for breakfast.
I take your already stellar fiction book manuscript and give it insight from a fresh pair of eyes to help make your dreams a reality.
I offer editing and beta reading services that will get your work noticed by your ideal readers. I’ll work with an early draft, your final masterpiece, or anywhere in between. Let’s work together to help readers dive into the story you have to tell and become raving fans that will share your work with others.
Comprehensive Content Editing
You’ll submit your entire book manuscript and I will read it, edit it, and send it back to you with feedback on how to improve it. It’s my goal to help get your book to its best version before you pursue publishing. When I return your manuscript, it will be professionally copyedited for spelling and grammar as well as thoroughly searched for plot holes, ways to further develop characters, and any other content revisions I’d suggest to make the piece stronger.
Price will range from $50-$80 per hour depending on project scope.
Beta Reading
You’ll submit either your entire book manuscript or a section of chapters and I will read it and send it back to you with feedback. You’ll dictate the kind of feedback you need—whether it’s finding plot holes, diving into character development, evaluating the believability or willing suspension of disbelief, or simply asking, “Is this something people will want to read?” I’m happy to provide professional insight and critique to help you along in the writing process. When I return your manuscript, it will come with the feedback in comments/annotated format. This service does not include line editing.
Price will range from $25-$45 per hour depending on project scope. Please complete at least one round of edits prior to sending me your manuscript.
Proofreading
You’ll submit either your entire book manuscript or a section of chapters and I will read it and edit it. Line editing, copyediting, whatever your preferred term is—it all falls under this category of my services. I will check for spelling, grammar, and consistency across the content. When I return your manuscript, it will come with the edits in track changes/suggestions format. This service does not include feedback on the story itself.
Price will range from $20-$40 per hour depending on project scope.
FAQ
Do you work with nonfiction manuscripts?
Typically, my clients write fiction, and I work best at giving feedback for fiction! However, I’m happy to offer my proofreading services for any type of writing, nonfiction included. If you’re a nonfiction writer and are interested in my comprehensive editing or beta reading services, please still reach out—I’d love to talk about your project and see if I may still be the right fit or refer you to another editor I may know who is more suited for your content.
How long will it take you to return my manuscript?
Of course this depends on the length of your manuscript, but I can typically turn around an average-sized project in under a month. There are, however, many things that can impact the timeline such as the amount of projects I have in a given quarter and the deadlines of the writers with which I work. Let’s chat about your project more specifically!
Do you ever edit content other than book manuscripts?
Sometimes! If you have a different project such as a blog, email newsletter, web copy, or something else, I’d be happy to talk with you about working together to edit your content within the same categories listed above. However, since book manuscripts are my main focus, those projects will take priority over additional jobs outside that medium. Let’s chat about your inquiry more specifically (just choose the “help me decide” option on the form)!
What kind of file will you accept?
I’ll take a Microsoft Word document or a shared Google document! I’ll also return the file in the same format you submitted it.
