EDITING |
|
Developmental editing is an evaluation and feedback on ideas, big-picture concerns, chapter order, chapter titles, headings, artwork, characterization, plot points, themes, consistency, style choices, and identifying gaps. It is a strong collaboration between writer and editor. This does not cover spelling and grammar errors.
$85/hour
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.
$60/ hour
Copy editing takes place after a substantive edit but before proofreading. The objective of copy editing is to polish the copy so that it’s clear while retaining the author’s voice and meaning. Copy is defined as “matter to be printed,” and a copy editor is responsible for this polishing step. They comb through a written work to identify and correct: grammar, spelling, tone & style deviations, wordiness, clunky transitions, confusing syntax, probelmatic language, misused words, unevenflow, and more.

MENTORING |
|
Looking for some one-on-one guidance in your publishing journey? I offer consulting at $100 per hour, and how we use that time is entirely up to you. We can spend the hour talking through your publishing strategy, reviewing query materials, discussing self-publishing options, or diving into your manuscript. You’ll be billed per session—perfect for those who want flexible, focused support without a long-term commitment. If you’re considering a larger project (like a full manuscript critique or multi-session plan), I can provide an estimate based on the scope of work. Hourly consulting is best for writers who need a few hours of professional insight and direction. If you’re looking for a deeper, long-term partnership, explore my mentorship program, where we work closely together over several months to move your project from concept to completion.
