Editing ServicesI am experienced with editing fiction and non-fiction. I've edited novels, e-books, presentations, articles, blog posts and more. My clients have been greatly pleased, and I'm sure you will be too!
All edits are done using the track changes feature in Google Docs. Types of Editing
(Check out some titles I edited here) Editorial Assessment $200+ You will receive a concise,single page report which outlines the following: a) affirmations – where and how the piece is on the right track b) suggestions for improvement – how the story or style can be improved c) other tips designed to perfect the piece and hone your craft |
Full Edit $25/500 words
You will receive a thorough copy edit for grammar, spelling, punctuation and general sentence structure. I will also provide a full stylistic edit (clarify meaning, eliminate jargon, and polish language) Instead of rewriting and reorganizing (as with the next package), directional notes will be made and you can DIY the changes, approving and rejecting each one as you review my recommendations. Any rewriting needed is done by you, the author.
Publish-Ready Edit [Done For You] $40/500 words
You will receive the same thoroughness as with the full edit (above), and also the re-working, re-organization, and rewriting of your draft as needed. Once I'm through, all you need do is review and approve changes. This is for the too-busy professional who just needs the book DONE and ready for the formatting stage (Creation of the Table of Contents, formatting for print or e-publishing are services I can do for you or you can hire someone for, but are separate from the editing process.)
Proofread $20/500 words
This is the final, critical step before publication, and is highly advised to follow your initial professional edit. You will receive a thorough proofread for grammar, spelling, punctuation, as well as consistencies in formatting (chapter numbers, spacing, margins, etc) and checking in-document links.
Editing Articles $50+
You will receive a thorough copy edit for grammar, spelling, punctuation and general sentence structure. I will also provide a full stylistic edit (clarify meaning, eliminate jargon, and polish language)
Pricing varies, depending on genre, depth of research required, and length. Prices start at $50 per article. Let's talk about it!

Ghost-Writing Your Book
Ever wanted to write a book, but were not sure of how to start?
Ever wished someone would just write the thing for you?
I can help.
Based on a project rate, you can expect delivery milestones at which point a portion of the fee becomes due.
Such milestones may include the book outline, first draft, first number of chapters, and so on, depending on the kind of project it is and length of time expected to complete it. This protects us both, as we're both taking risks to create the book.
Please contact me to discuss.

E-Books
I would love to create an ebook for your business! Compile your knowledge and expertise into a valuable product your customers want.
Prices vary depending on length and depth of research required. Prices start at $0.30 per word.
Don't worry, it's easier than you think!
1. Email me with details of your book (topic, length, any other info/ideas you have). (If the subject is all you know, fear not - I can work with that! In fact, that's my favorite - I love brainstorming with clients! And not to worry. Brainstorming is included in the cost.)
2. After we've figured out the basic idea for your awesome new book, I will send you a draft outline to approve.
3. Once I have an approved outline, off I go to write your book. Then I send you the first draft and see what you think.
4. After the first draft is tweaked (according to your feedback), I shine it up and we do it again until you're fully satisified with your new e-book.
See? Easy!
