Full editing packages addressing every aspect of storytelling including character, structure, pacing, word choice and grammar. It's my job to help you make your story the best it can be! While I am a compulsive proofreader and will correct punctuation, spelling, and other such errors as I see them, these packages do not include separate line edits.
Two full rounds of edits including post-edit review of your changes and responses to any final questions you may have. If you are a writer whose drafts are raw and need a lot of massaging to reach their final form, this would be the package to choose.
$0.015/word (40,000-word novel = $600) based on the larger word count of your two drafts.
One full round of edits including post-edit review of your changes and responses to any final questions you may have. If you are a writer who self-edits your drafts significantly before sending to editing, this might be an economical choice for you.
$0.01/word (40,000-word novel = $400)
These packages are meant for works that have already been edited (by yourself or another editor) and are in their final draft before layout, publishing, or submission. Line editing will include a look at sentence structure, word choice, stage direction, and other issues that distract from the clarity of your writing, as well as basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation edits. (I can't not proofread so it is always included!) Proofreading will only include basic grammar, punctuation, and typos.
One full round of line edits looking at sentence structure, word choice, stage direction, and other issues that distract from the clarity of your writing, as well as basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation edits. It's my job to catch the little mistakes that may throw a reader out of your story.
$0.006/word (40,000-word novel = $240)
One comprehensive read-through of your story checking only for basic grammar, punctuation, spelling, and other typos. I can proofread your final draft in document form, or copy-edit your story after layout for publication.

All prices are estimates. If upon review your work would require additional charges, we will discuss them before any billable work is done. For all projects, a Service Agreement will be created delineating the scope of the project, detailing the cost and payment schedule, and most importantly recognizing that you are the sole legal owner of the work at all phases of editing and that the editor surrenders all right to any financial stake in the work's future publication and performance.
