Not sure which editing service to choose? Read “The Editing Process.”
Note: I no longer offer content editing. I've found manuscript assessments to be a more valuable (and popular) service. It examines all the same aspects of a content edit but at a better price for you!
Manuscript Assessment
The cost-effective option.
Full report on your manuscript's strengths and weaknesses with suggestions.
No editing to the manuscript, but comments will be made where necessary.
Involves comments and suggestions on plot, characters, dialogue, themes, and pacing.
Okay to send rough drafts with unfinished or missing chapters/scenes.
Copy edit can be included at a discounted rate.
$5.00 per 1,000 words
$0.005 per word
Short Works
For projects under 1,000 words.
Great for multiple short works (comic scripts, blog posts, short articles or essays).
As long as each piece is under 1,000 words, editing services are based on a flat fee.
A further $5 discount is applied to any work contract lasting more than three months or more than 10 pieces of work.
$30 / $20 / $10
