Book Editing Services
Developmental Edit
This service focuses on the core components of your story. I’ll go through and answer questions like: Does the hook grab me? How is the pacing? Do the characters feel real and believable? Does the plot make sense, and is it enough to keep me reading?
What you get:
A heavily marked-up manuscript with my suggestions and feedback
A comprehensive editorial report of about 15-20 pages outlining my suggestions on how to improve the core components of your story
A second round after you’ve implemented your changes
Email support to answer any questions
I charge $.035 per word for this service.
Line Editing
This service focuses on the content, style, and flow of your writing. I'll work line-by-line, fixing any awkward or unclear sections, taking out repetition or redundancies, and addressing odd word choices and overall tone.
What you get:
A marked-up manuscript with my edits, suggestions, and feedback
A final clean-up pass to catch anything that slipped through the first pass
A style sheet to ensure consistency for future edits
