Book Editing Services
Developmental Editing
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 in-line comments about the plot, pacing, characters, tone, and overall structure
A 10+ page editorial report containing an overview of the manuscript’s strengths, suggestions on how to solve any big-picture issues, and next steps
Email support to answer any questions
I charge $.028 USD per word for this service.
Manuscript Critique
This service is a budget-friendly alternative to a developmental edit. I’ll read through your manuscript, focusing on the bigger story elements while giving you my honest feedback on what is or isn’t working.
What you get:
A lightly marked-up manuscript with in-line comments about the plot, pacing, and characters
A 2-5 page editorial report containing my suggestions on improving the core elements of your story

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, removing 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
