I am happy to provide a free sample edit of 1,500-2,000 words in order to make sure you are comfortable with my editing style and that we will be a good fit. I am also able to use this as an opportunity to let you know which editing service I feel would best suit your manuscript and make a recommendation. I reserve the right to let you know if I think we will not be a good fit for any reason.
A line edit is focused on the content, style, and language use within the manuscript. It addresses run-on or choppy sentences, awkwardly phrased sentences, dangling participles, overused words, incorrectly used words, redundancies, etc.
It does NOT touch your plot. It’s like an iron for your sentences.
Choose this if you don’t want your plot touched but you DO want a style overhaul.
$0.009 per word.
When doing a copy edit, I make sure the text is correct in terms of spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, jargon, terminology, and semantics. I look for consistency, uniformity, and internal continuity in your work, specifically adressing spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts, and capitalization.
$0.008 per word.
This is basically a proofread with light copy and/or line edits.
Choose this if you mostly need a proofread but would like me to polish any rough sentences that stick out to me in the process.
$0.007 per word.
Has your book already been edited? This is your final check before going to publication. I will be your set of eyes to look over your manuscript and make sure it is clean, formatted correctly, and typographical error-free.

If you are looking for this type of editing service, I know of several excellent editors whose information I would be happy to pass along to you.
