Services
Proofreading
Proofreading involves the surface evaluation of a final draft. Components evaluated and corrected include misspellings, omitted words, typographical errors, word endings, punctuation, double words, upper/lower-case, formatting, and grammar. This is a critical service designed to save you any embarrassment.

Copyediting
SPECIAL: Typically a copy edit for a book costs somewhere between $350-$1,500. I am currently running a promotion. For the next 1,000 clients, I will do a copy edit for just $100 for up to 85,000 words. You will also receive a free ebook that teaches you how to effectively market your book, whether you publish traditionally or self-publish.
What Is Included in the Copy Editing:
Copyediting is about evaluating and correcting a document to fit a certain style (house, Chicago, AP, etc…), while ensuring that spelling, capitalization and punctuation are correct. Consistency, cohesion, coherence and clarity are top priorities.
The manuscript will be edited using Microsoft Word with Track Changes and Comments. I go line by line to ensure accuracy. I have professional experience editing all genres including nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.
When you place the order, I will reach out to you within 24 hours to request the manuscript. If there is something specific you want me to focus on, simply let me know. Once I receive the manuscript from you, I will have it back to you within 72 hours.
Line Editing
Line editing is all about style and the use of language to convey a story. Line editing does not cover tiny errors; line editing includes an evaluation of run-on sentences, overused words, odd style habits, redundancies, dialogue, confusing scenes, poor transitions, tonal shifts, tense discrepancies, odd phrasing, bland language, narrative digressions, pacing and overall consistency.

Writing
Worried about the final bill? I am a speedy writer and a damn good editor. You will get your money’s worth. We can negotiate a flat-rate fee if you prefer it. Of course, if the workload goes beyond the original invoice, I will bill you for the remainder of my time.
Here is what I can do for you:

- Landing pages

- Product descriptions
- Blog posts
- Ghostwriting: Ebooks and Print Books

Since I am a ferociously busy writer, I must be selective. If you are ready to get started, then please email me information about your project, website or business. If I am excited about it, I will send you a form to fill out about the project and you will return it with any information that I would require to complete the copy.
After I review the materials, we will schedule a Skype meeting, so I can guarantee that I know everything that I need to know to make your copy shine. Afterwards, we will negotiate the contract, you will pay an upfront deposit, and then the wizardry begins.
When you pay the deposit below, it is applied to your final bill for services. IF it turns out that we cannot work together, you will get a FULL refund.
