For writers seeking proofreading, editing, or consultation on a manuscript, I am available for hire. I will provide line edits, larger story and plot edits, and proofreading. Fiction, nonfiction, short story collections, novels, novellas, and memoir are all welcome.
In general, the editing process includes line edits, a larger editorial letter dealing with plot, structure, and themes, as well as a phone or Zoom consultation if desired.
My current rate for editing manuscripts is $.02 per word (10,000 words = $200). Please inquire via the form on the contact page. Include word count, a brief plot summary, and what you believe is needed to help your project.
BOOK DOCTORING/DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
For writers currently working on a manuscript. This process involves editing the manuscript as its being written, talking about where it will go and how to get there, and regular meetups to discuss work as it is completed. Payment is on a meeting by meeting, case by case basis.
