Embedded Files
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.
