About this Gig
Want to see if we're the right fit? I ask all new clients to first run a short tester project (basic package) before we dive into a larger project. I will provide a line edit on your first 1,000 words. This is is a great way to see what is working and what isn't in the first 3-4 pages of your novel. It also helps you get a taste of my skills and an understanding of how I can help your full novel.
For your full novel, I work only with custom offers. Please message me.
All manuscripts must be sent as either a Google link with editing access or as a Word doc.
Line editing goes beyond surface-level corrections; it delves into the finer details of your prose. This process involves refining sentence structures, eliminating redundancies, enhancing word choice, and ensuring consistency in tone and style throughout your manuscript.
With each of my packages, I provide an a thorough line-by-line examination of your manuscript, focusing on the following aspects:
- Sentence Structure & Clarity
- Grammar & Syntax
- Word Choice & Style
- Narrative Voice
- Flow & Transitions
- Proofreading

FAQ
Why do you require a sample edit for new clients?
Before we dive into a big project, I like to verify that my editing is a good match to your expectations. With a sample edit, you can see how my assessment can improve your story without committing to a large project.
Do you work in British or American English?
Both! I will default to American English unless otherwise specified.
