Editorial Services

As an author, you want to be confident the best version of your novel is released into the book world and readers are not distracted by errors. There are so many editors out there offering different editing and proofreading packages. How do you decide the right choice for you and your manuscript?

I offer a boutique approach that allows you to build the package that best suits your needs and budget. Together, we can tailor a package that will make your book shine.

Working collaboratively with Kelly at Messenger’s Memos Fiction Editing Services allows me to offer a unique service to authors that choose a dual-editor copy edit and proofreading package. This product ensures that two qualified editors will handle your manuscript, with each of us performing one round of the process. This will mean that two knowledgeable sets of eyes will edit your book before publication to ensure that you release the highest quality novel possible.

These can be combined in a package with additional features, including comprehensive book bibles or social media packs, designed to help you get ready for a successful release or plan future books in your series.

I believe it is essential that you are confident in your choice in editor, so I offer a 1000-word FREE sample edit from any section of your manuscript.

Contact me to discuss how I can assist with your unique needs.

Services Offered

Line/Copy Editing (Heavy Copy Edit)

During the line edit, I will work on your manuscript at a sentence-level and consider the tense, voice, mood, viewpoint, pace, and flow of your work. I will ensure the clarity and cohesion of your plot, identify any inconsistencies, and maintain your individual author voice.

This service comes with a style sheet and an editorial report.

Copy Edit

While completing a copy edit of your manuscript, I check for inconsistencies in plot and grammar. I correct punctuation and spelling, catch any repetitive words and phrases, and suggest changes designed to improve the flow of your manuscript. I will provide comment on clarity of the story, readability, and point out any inconsistencies.

This service comes with a style sheet and a free blurb review.

Proofread

A proofread is the final step a manuscript undergoes before publication. During proofreading, I check for spelling, grammar, and formatting errors instead of enhancing the manuscript’s writing quality.

This is the best option if your manuscript has already been edited, but you would like another set of eyes to check it before publication.

This service comes with a style sheet.

I also offer packages that combine line, copy, and proofread to help you save money and streamline the process.

Unsure which option is best for you?

I offer a 1000-word FREE sample edit from any section of your manuscript. After looking at your manuscript, I can provide feedback and show you how I think we can move forward together.
