EDITING SERVICES

Manuscript Evaluation

• This is an evaluation of your manuscript as a whole. I will look at the big picture of what’s working and what elements we can strengthen. I look at your hook, the plot, setting, characters, writing style, etc. I do not look at grammar or stylistic elements, unless I notice something is repeated throughout the manuscript.

• You will receive a basic editorial report but no in-manuscript comments.

• $0.005 per word*

Developmental Edit

• This is similar to the manuscript critique except I take a more in-depth look at plot holes, pacing, character development, tone, the hook, world-building, etc. I do not look at grammar or stylistic elements.

• You will receive an editorial report as well as in-manuscript comments using Track Changes in a Word document.

• $0.025 per word*

Copyedit

• I will look at spelling, grammar, punctuation, and the consistency of your manuscript. I also fact-check to make sure things like names and dates are accurate. I copyedit according to The Chicago Manual of Style guidelines.

• You will receive a Word document with Track Changes and a style sheet.

• $0.015 per word*

Line Edit

• I will look at word choice, sentence structure, paragraph transitions and flow, and readability for your audience. I will also make sure the language is appropriate for your audience and eliminate wordiness.

• You will receive a Word document with Track Changes.

• $0.015 per word*

Sensitivity Read

• I will read through the manuscript and looks for instances of cultural misrepresentation, offensive content, bias, and stereotypes that affect the identity group I’m reading for. I provide sensitivity reads for the following topics: biracial identity (Filipino and Polish), bisexuality, ethical non-monogamy, Catholic upbringing, interracial relationships, women's issues, children of immigrants, and anxiety.

• You will receive an editorial report but no in-manuscript comments.

Sample Edit

• Free copyedit or line edit sample for the first 5 pages from your manuscript.

* Rates listed are for a minimum of 5000 words. If your word count is under 5000, I will charge a flat rate of $30 per hour instead of the rate listed per word.

NOTE: I also offer discounts if you would like more than one type of edit. Please contact me for a quote.
