EDITING SERVICES FOR WRITERS
A NOTE ON AVAILABILITY
For all clients: We're booking fast for fall 2023! If you think you'll need our editing services in 2023, please email us to book a placeholder slot--we want to be there for each and every one of you, but due to the in-depth work we perform, there are limited monthly spots available.
BETA READING
Genres: fantasy, romance, and teen & young adult genres and sub-genres.
Is beta reading for me?
If you've just finished your novel and want a professional opinion without a large investment, beta reading could be for you. You'll get an editorial report outlining strengths/weaknesses of your novel with suggestions for the areas of improvement at a fraction of the cost of an editing package.
​
This package does not include: in-text edits/tracked changes/comments in the manuscript.
Cost
$85 for a novella (under 60k)
$195 for a full novel (60k-100k)
Over 100 000 words? Email for a custom quote.
Turnaround
1 week
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

Is developmental editing for me?
For a novel to reach its full potential, you'll want an unbiased review of all its finer points: character, pacing, plot, character acrs, romance (if any), story development, etc. My developmental editing package offers that and so much more.

an editorial report

COPY/LINE EDITING
Genres: fantasy, romance, literary fiction genres and sub-genres.
Is copy/line editing for me?
You've got all the hard work done. Your story's on point, but now you need a fresh pair of eyes to make sure your sentences flow, your dialogue isn't yawn-worthy and your overall vocab matches the genre. This is for you!

Is proofreading for me?
A final pair of eyes to catch all those pesky typos. If you're at this level, congrats! Please also note that if I feel the novel is not proofread-level yet, I will advise you.
​
This package includes in-text edits/tracked changes in the manuscript . Discounts may be available if proofreading is purchased alongside another editing package (i.e. developmental edits + a proofread, or copyediting + a proofread).
