Editing Tiers

  • Manuscript Evaluation - $0.004 per word

    I will review your manuscript for overall structure and performance. I will focus on areas such as character arc, plot structure and pacing, character/author voice and consistency, as well as the mood and tone of the full manuscript.

    I will provide an in-depth review in an editorial report that includes sections on each of the areas above, discussing how each area functions and reads for your intended reader. Please include your target audience in your inquiry so that I can review according to those genre/reader expectations.

  • Developmental Edit - $0.006 per word

    I will read your manuscript and provide you in-text notes and suggestions on large scale topics, such as character consistency, plot pacing, setting, and unclear passages. I will note plot holes and scenes that appear unnecessary.

    If you have specific concerns, please include them in your inquiry, and I will prioritize that in my review. This includes an editorial report, so this part is very important.

  • Copy Edit - $0.008 per word

    I will read your manuscript and provide feedback on sentence- and paragraph-level areas, such as word choice, readability, syntax, and concise sentences. I will identify inconsistencies in writing, such as character and setting description, and object threads throughout the manuscript.

    I will adhere to CMOS style unless otherwise stated, as it is the current standard for fiction editing. I will include a custom style guide for your manuscript, referencing names, places, and setting details for the purpose of maintaining consistency.

    This is my most substantial editing tier, so please specify if you do or do NOT want a specific amount or area of feedback.

  • Proofread - $0.005 per word

    This is intended to be a final edit for a finished manuscript. I will read your manuscript and correct mechanical errors such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and incorrect word usage. I will fact-check to the best of my ability and according to your story world. I will also notate formatting inconsistencies.

    I will include a custom style guide for your manuscript, referencing names, places, and setting details for the purpose of maintaining consistency.

Thank you for scrolling all the way to the bottom.  

While the pricing here is intended to ease the process, I am open to discounts on orders such as series discounts and editing bundles, as well as short pieces like query letters and synopses. 

Currently, I am offering a 10% discount on series or editing bundles (where you’re booking your manuscript in for more than one style of editing, where I will perform one, allow you to revise it, and I will do the next round).

I also love editing short stories! So please reach out to discuss potential discounts for short story packages that can be more custom to your project.

Please reach out for any clarification!
