| (Developmental Editing) You've finished your story and are looking for someone to review it chapter-by-chapter. My comprehensive editing process involves reading through your manuscript several times, including at least one pass on paper. After completing a story critique, I will return your manuscript with a detailed analysis of your character and story development, as well as your worldbuilding and pacing. In addition, I will reveiew what I liked about each chapter and note any areas where I might have been confused or looking for more information. I will also point out any inconsistencies in tense, point of view, or timeline. $35 per hour |
When you are ready, I will work on the manuscript line by line, changing words to improve clarity. My main areas of focus are the reduction of dialogue tags and passive voice, though I will also offer suggestions to reduce repetitive words and correct grammatical errors. $35 per hour |

Just like test-driving a car, you want to make sure your editor is a good match for you. I will provide a free beta read for your entire manuscript. In addition, I will do an in-depth edit of a portion (roughly 1000 words) of the document, commenting on your characters, storyline, setting, etc. I will also point out any spelling or grammar errors and make light editing suggestions. If you like what you see, we will make arrangements for the remainder of the manuscript.
