How Do You Determine Your Rates?
In addition to word count, I calculate my quotes based on genre and complexity. True crime and historical fiction, for example, are typically charged at a higher rate due to the high level of fact-checking involved. Additional elements such as captions and citations are charged an additional per-hour rate.
My rates are in accordance with the Editorial Freelancers Association. To receive an accurate quote, please use my contact form to submit the details of your project and I will get back to you shortly.
Have you finished the meat and potatoes of your manuscript, but you're not quite sure it's written the best way it can be? Line editing will offer suggestions for deepening character development, honing your language, and tightening up your content. It's also my favorite type of editing!

ADD-ONS
My goal is to make the self-publishing process as easy as possible; that's why I pride myself on being a one-stop-shop for all of your editing needs before moving on to design. In addition to editing any front and back matter, I provide the following options to any client who invests in an editing service.
blurb edit
$30
A book blurb is the one- or two-paragraph promotional description you'll find on the back cover of a printed book or in the catalog description of the book, such as on the Amazon product page. A book blurb helps a reader determine if your book is something they want to read, or at least invites them to read the first page. If you have one, you can use your query letter as the basis of your blub, but of course, you don't want to spoil the ending. A good blurb should alert the reader that your book falls in line with any genre conventions. I'll line edit and proofread your existing copy. I do not provide feedback on the manuscript itself with this service.
