FAQ
How do I know what my manuscript will cost?
When you're ready to purchase a gig, message me with your final/current word count. I will then create a custom offer for you with the price you'll pay. My per-word price is listed in the tiered packaages on my gig.
What do you look for when proofreading?
Proofreading looks strictly at the mechanics of your manuscript: Spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, word usage, consistency (ensuring not only that names, places, etc. are spelled correctly, but that they're all spelled the same way every time). I proofread according to the CMOS by default.
How long have you been doing work like this?
I have been proofreading/editing across industries (journalism, legal, and lifestyle pubs) for nearly ten years -- more, including college; however, fiction is my real passion. I want to partner with indie authors to help polish their work for readers.
What if I'm on my first draft?
While I'm happy to work with you at any stage of your project, proofreading is generally the final step of the writing process. Proofreading midway through a project (when you may have major changes still to come) likely will mean you need another round once you're done.

Ongoing collaborationChelsea did an amazing job proofreading my manuscript. She was very attentive to detail, and I'm really grateful that she pointed out awkward sentences and phrases, as well as correcting my tenses where necessary. She made loads of really great suggestions, and I could feel she was invested in the story...
