Editing
Editing can be a big, scary monster, but it doesn’t have to be! Both aspiring writers and weathered authors alike have their reservations about the editing process. Part of that is due to the confusion surrounding different kinds of editing, terms that are used interchangeably, but are actually quite distinctive. For example, the terms “copy editing,” “line editing,” and “developmental editing,” are completely different things. Between the editors I've looked at over the years, they all seem to have their own definitions for these terms. I don't know about you, but I like things to be simple! Below, you'll find a brief definition of each type of editing I offer, which should dispel any confusion. Whatever kind of editing you need, I'm looking forward to helping you with your book!
Copy Editing:
$0.03 per word
Copy editing is your standard technical pass. If you're confident in your story and just want to double check your grammar, this is for you!
I will be going through your book with a dedicated eye, ensuring to address spelling errors, proper capitalization and punctuation, correct formatting of extraneous works, and all things related to syntax.
Line Editing:
$0.06 per word
Line editing is more developmental by nature, and focuses on telling your story as effectively as possible. If you think a character arc isn't quite where it should be, or a scene isn't feeling the way you want it to, this is for you!
I will be looking to maintain your exact writing style, bear in mind the important themes and plot points in your book, and make sure ideas flow naturally and relate to the core of your story.
Note about Editing Payment:
For longer works, payment plans can be made available. In your contact email, request a payment plan, and we can have something arranged.
Cover Design
They say not to judge a book by its cover, but ironically, that sentiment applies to almost every area of life except for literature. The cover of a book needs to do many things: it has to grab the attention of a potential reader, introduce them to your story’s ideas or themes, and then compel them to open it up and read it! This is no small order, but with the right cover, your book can do just that!
As an independent, self-published author, I understand the necessity of stretching every dollar, which is why my rates for cover design will rival almost any other you can find. Should you decide to work with me, I will do my absolute best to distill your book’s concepts into an eye-catching visual format that’s sure to put a smile on your face! Whether you need a full cover or just a front cover, I’m looking forward to designing something for you!

* IMPORTANT NOTE *
To be able to create a full, wraparound cover, I will need the exact dimensions of your book, which means that your book MUST be complete.
If your book is incomplete, I can begin by designing the front cover, to show you what part of your full cover will look like, and then complete the other sides later.
Custom Work
The cover work I do can be entirely layout-based, which means I find and arrange the elements that best suit your book. Or, if you would prefer to have something truly custom, hand-drawn, or drawn digitally, that would be an additional fee, as it would required much more time to create.
Additional pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the requested design.
