Content That Gets Results


For Fiction Authors:

I specialize in the mid- to final-stage of fiction editing. This means that your manuscript is nearly complete, and now you need me to come in to make it shine.

Here’s a breakdown of my fiction editing services:

Line Editing

Line editing comes after developmental editing and focuses on sentence-level revisions. I’ll improve structure, ensure scene consistency, polish character actions, tackle passive voice, and conduct detailed fact-checking across your entire manuscript. This includes front and back matter (table of contents, author bio, dedication page, and everything in between).

With my line editing service, expect in-depth feedback on the flow, consistency, and clarity of your entire manuscript.

*pricing starts at $50 per hour


Copyediting

Copyediting differs from line editing as the crucial step before proofreading. This service involves correcting typos, ensuring proper formatting, conducting a light fact check, and maintaining consistent style (typically The Chicago Manual of Style).

Think of copyediting this way: it’s the vital middle ground between the comprehensive line edit and final proofreading.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final quality check. When your manuscript is ready for production, proofreading offers the final chance to check for typos, formatting issues, and minor errors.

It’s perfect for writers confident in their manuscript and need that last, extra set of eyes before publishing.

Please note that this service does not include revisions.
