Pricing

Below is information about the various editing packages I offer. Half your total is due as a down payment at the time that you book a date on my schedule. I also offer a sample edit, which you can request here. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Content Editing (.009/word) — 10-14 Days

This is my comprehensive package and provides the most complete analysis of your work for the best price. In addition to two full read-throughs with the copy editing described below, you will get an editorial critique of your characters, pacing, plotlines, and anything else you would like advice on. Note: This is all done in the two read-throughs before the manuscript is returned to you. Copy editing is not done separately. It is still recommended that you hire a final proofreader if possible. Alternatively, revisions may be requested at additional cost.

Copy Editing (.007/word) ­— 8-10 Days

Copy editing provides a full edit of your work in two read-throughs. I will be checking spelling, grammar, facts, sentence structure, paragraph breaks, word usage (such as repeated or confusing), timeline issues, character consistency, and more. Note: This is all done in the two read-throughs before the manuscript is returned to you. It is still recommended that you hire a final proofreader. Revisions may be requested at additional cost.

Proofreading (.004/word) — 6-8 Days

This is the last step before publishing. Nobody’s perfect, but I’ll make sure your work is as close as it can be. Proofreading includes two full read-throughs for punctuation, spelling, grammar, and other mistakes that can slip through the editing process. Revisions may be requested at additional cost.
