LINE EDITS/PROOFREADING
Make sure that your entire manuscript is polished and sparkling.This will correct grammar, punctuation, and make sure that your copy is clean. A letter will accompany the edits, but not in as much detail as the manuscript critique. Any changes that are made will be minimal to what you have written, to preserve your own style. The manuscript will be corrected, but not substantially changed.
$3.00 per page (standard double-spaced)
Want to see what was changed on your manuscript so you can learn from the experience? As above, the manuscript will be directly marked, but this time it will usually be in red, unless you prefer an underline or another mark, to show you what has been changed.
$4.00 per page (It takes longer to change the font on each individual edit.)
REWRITES/ STAR TREATMENT
The extra special treatment of your manuscript… It involves me not only correcting the work, as in line edits, but more intensively rewriting passages so that they read stronger. Each manuscript is unique in how much needs to be redone. Your scenes will not be rearranged, nor your plot changed. But sentences may be rewritten, rather than simply corrected. In addition to being an editor, I am an award-winning writer and an Amazon international multi-bestselling author with a PhD in History.
4 Cents per word ($0.04) for the word count of your entire manuscript
