FAQ
What genres do you edit?
I am open to editing ALL genres (except for erotica). I have most experience editing: literary fiction, contemporary, thriller, horror, YA, fantasy, and sci-fi. Please contact me if you're unsure!
My word count is slightly above 500 words. Will you still edit my piece?
Unfortunately, I cannot edit more than 500 words at this price-point. Please send up to 500 words (to the nearest full sentence).
Can you edit PDFs?
Unfortunately, no, as I need an editable document to leave comments. I only accept Word and Google Docs at this time.
Can I submit excerpts of a longer work?
No. This gig is strictly to critique the first page of a short story or novel.
