Editing Packages
Writing a book takes imagination, focus, and most importantly, dedication. The pages hold more than words, they are part of your heart.
​
If you are ready to take the next steps with your manuscript, whether it is preparing a query letter, book proposal, or editing help, let's do this together. I believe in you!
Line Edit/Copyedit
($0.02 per word)
Using the complete manuscript, I will comment on specific sentences and paragraphs to improve readability, avoid telling, address point of view issues, remove redundancies and inconsistencies, and reading level suggestions (for children’s books). I will also correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, and duplicate words.
Developmental Edit
($0.04 per word) ($30 minimum)
This can be done with a partial or complete manuscript. I will recommend chapter titles, moving paragraphs, enhancing the flow and plot lines, voice assessment. (This does not include line editing or copyediting).
Full Edit
($0.05 per word)
This edit will include two passes, one for the developmental edit and the second for line editing. There is a $30 minimum for picture book edits.
Query Letter Review
($150)
Query letter format provided, proofread and mark up query.
Manuscript Review
($250 for fiction, $300 for non-fiction, $100 for picture book )
If you are not ready for an edit on the manuscript and would like feedback, I will review the manuscript and then prepare an edit letter for you detailing strengths of the manuscript and areas that might need a little attention.
Book Proposals
($300)
Book Proposal format provided, 30 minute Zoom call to discuss, proofread and mark up.
Pitch Coaching
($250)
If you need help writing that perfect pitch for your manuscript or screenplay, I will send you a pitch worksheet to prepare before our hour Zoom call, where we will work on your pitch until it's perfect.
A little bit more about my editing experience:
As an attorney for almost thirty years, drafting is my specialty. I have found that attention to detail brings a written work to its fullest potential. Being an author with five published books, I have learned the ins-and-outs of the publishing industry, especially pertaining to book proposals and manuscript revisions. Selling my middle-grade series RUBY STARR has given me additional expertise in preparing a book proposal. I am here to aid you in your journey, whether that be developmental editing or crafting a pitch. I feel so blessed to be able to work with other authors and be witness to their talent and success. I hope to get to know you, and I can’t wait to read your work!
