About this Gig
I will proofread and edit your short story, up to 2,000 words per gig.
As a former book blogger, I know the struggles a writer goes through to get noticed.
Worrying about editing shouldn't be one of them.
As an author, your soul goes into bringing your characters and their worlds to life. You've worked hard and don't want readers to be jarred out of your story by something as slight as a neglected comma or poor word choice.
I promise to give your writing the respect it deserves. That means I don't outsource the work you have entrusted to me. You've worked hard to craft a compelling story, and I'll personally ensure it shines.
Choose from:
Proofreading
Correction of Errors in grammar, spelling, and syntax
Editing
Improvement of clarity and flow
Rewriting of clunky sentences
*basic package included
Proof and Edit Plus
Deep line editing
Suggestions for developmental issues
*basic and standard packages included
It is crucial that files be submitted in .doc or .docx format. I use Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature and leave notes using inline comments.

FAQ
My story has a word count of 5000. How many gigs do I order?
Since each gig allows up to 2000 words, you'd buy 3 gigs. This is because 2 gigs would cover a 4000 word piece, and you'd need one more to cover the remaining 1000 words. But! If you have a spillover of 500 words or less, don't hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss a custom order.
What file types do you accept?
I only accept Word (.doc or .docx) files.
Should I order proofreading or one of the editing packages?
If all you need is an extra pair of eyes to carefully comb through your work to find spelling and grammar mistakes or typos, you only need to order proofreading. Any additional work, including, but not limited to, the rephrasing of sentences or help with your plotline, is considered editing.
My story is over 8,000 words long. Can you handle that?
Absolutely! However, I ask that anyone submitting stories with a word count of 8,000 words or more contact me first. I may require extra time with longer pieces to ensure yours gets the attention it deserves.

Rebecca is a complete professional who sought clarity on my motivation prior to starting the editing process. She did this to ensure that she was totally sure of my intentions. This gave me great comfort, as the piece was written in an unorthodox style that involved tense shifts and deliberate confusion....
