Below is a breakdown of all of my Editorial and Non-Editorial services. At this time, the editorial services I offer are line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. I also offer image research for authors who need a stellar shot for their book cover, whether it will appear in print or on Kindle Unlimited.
Each editorial service includes up to two passes of editing. Extra passes can be provided at an additional cost to be discussed at the time of booking. Editorial changes will be made using Track Changes, so manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. If you do not have Word, I may still be able to accommodate the format of your manuscript. Simply contact me, and we will discuss.
My editing and research rates are competitive with the standard rates you would find on the Editorial Freelancers Association website or elsewhere. All manuscripts under 40,000 words will be subject to a flat rate of $400 depending on the length, content, and degree of revision required. However, I strive to give my clients the best possible value, which is why I offer flexible rates, to be predetermined and discussed with you prior to confirmation of booking. I also offer a selection of new and returning client discounts (see: Special Offers at the bottom of this page).

Editorial Services
Line Editing ($0.026 - $0.032 per word)
Line editing is a creative approach to manuscript revision. While major issues in character or story development should already be resolved, I will peruse the manuscript for issues in narrative continuity and pacing; adjust the structure of sentences to improve flow and readability; suggest improvements to style and voice. Revisions will also be made to grammar and mechanics, where needed. I recommend this package if your manuscript is complete and has at least been beta-read.
Copyediting ($0.018 - $0.024 per word)
Copyediting is a more technical treatment of your prose. After assessing the condition of your manuscript, I will identify and correct factual errors and internal inconsistencies (i.e., discrepancies in plot, setting, and character traits). I will also correct or provide suggestions for errors in syntax, grammar, and word usage, as well as recommendations for more precise vocabulary. I recommend this package if your manuscript is complete, has received beta reviews and developmental editing, and ideally (though not necessarily) has been line edited.
Proofreading ($0.01 - $0.017 per word)
Proofreading is the final polish before you release your manuscript out into the world. I will read your work carefully and resolve all typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, and problems with syntax. I recommend this package only if your manuscript is complete, has been beta-read, has received developmental editing, and has been copyedited. In many cases, the manuscript will have been formatted for publication, but this isn’t a requirement for booking.
If you believe your manuscript could benefit from more than one of the editorial services, or if you’re unsure of which editing treatment it needs, please send me a message anyway. We can discuss the best options for you.

Non-Editorial Services
Cover Image Research ($20/hour)
As an image researcher, I will scour a diverse selection of reputable photo agency and stock websites, as well as unusual sources, to help you find the right photo for your book cover. I will also manage the permissions process for you and negotiate the lowest possible fees. Authors are responsible for payment of licensed images, unless negotiated prior to the start of the assignment.
