Our Services
-
Proofreading
Proofreading is the most surface-level editing I offer. This means I will be looking only at punctuation, capitalization, spelling, abbreviations, and any other style rules. For this, I will be following The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction.
Proofreading package is priced at 1.2 cents per word.
-
Line Editing
With line editing, I will be looking at your book line-by-line. In doing so, I will consider word choice and the power and meaning of a sentence. I will consider whether a sentence needs to be trimmed or tightened as well. I will also be tightening and clarifying your work at a chapter, scene, and paragraph level. This is the package that will help make your prose truly come to life.
The Line Editing package is priced at 2.5 cents per word.
-
Developmental Editing
In this package I will look deeply at the organization and strength of your book. Everything from pacing to characters, point of view, tense, plot, subplots, and dialogue will be considered in this package. I will also check for the usage of genre conventions in this package.
The Developmental Editing package is priced at 3.0 cents per word.
