About this Gig
Whether you're self-publishing or ready to start submitting, I provide constructive feedback and a keen editorial eye. Let me give you a fresh perspective on your draft!

FAQ
What is a sample edit?
A sample edit is performed on a small part of a larger work, to give authors a preview of what it's like to work with the editor. I offer sample edits of the first page (250 words) of a short story and the first chapter (up to 10,000 words) of a novel. These are substantive edits.
What is proofreading?
Proofreading is the lightest form of editing. It is performed only after more substantial edits have been finalized. Proofreading corrects the spelling, punctuation, and syntax errors that previous editors missed, if any. It does not offer strategies for improvement beyond the corrections provided.
What is substantive editing?
Substantive editing is a combination of developmental editing and line editing. It corrects sentence-level errors and offers strategies to fix problems affecting the entire piece, such as structural deficits, weak characterization, uneven voice, etc.
How many revisions are included?
Each editing pass is sold separately so that you never pay for work you don't use. Special rates are available for successive editing passes on the same manuscript. Contact me for more information.
