Copyediting

Now that your story is fully fleshed-out, with the five commandments in place for each scene, and all of the obligatory scenes and conventions of your genre are present, it is time to deal with that pesky thing we call grammar. Whether you need a human eye to catch what your spell and grammar check program missed, or intensive reworking to help with word choice, syntax, and flow, we can help!

To determine if I am the right fit for you, I offer a 1,500 word sample edit for full-length manuscripts. Request yours today!

Light Copyedit

Cost: $0.02/word

With a light copyedit, I will edit for grammatical and mechanical correctness and consistency throughout your manuscript. A style sheet is included.

Medium Copyedit

Cost: $0.026/word

With a medium copyedit, I will check for consistency of timeline, character details, and story logic. I will also note unfamiliar words which may require defining, and infelicitous use of terms, in addition to editing for grammatical and mechanical correctness and consistency throughout your manuscript. A style sheet is included.

Heavy Copyedit

Cost: $0.04/word

This service is essential when you need to reduce your word count, clean up your prose, or even ensure the coherency of your writing for authors whose native language is not English.

Heavy copyediting combines copyediting with a service known as “line editing”. I will do everything included in light and medium copyediting in addition to revising passages to correct infelicities, wordiness, and tone issues. A style sheet is included.

Proofreading

Cost: $0.02/word

Unlike with copyediting, I will not make any actual changes to your manuscript; rather I will make note of errors present in your final print copy by making comments on the PDF for you to revise at your discretion.

Get in touch below so that we can start the process of helping you write your best book!
