Let us service you…
-
Line edit it.
We will comb and read through your book, checking for plot holes, story gaps, inconsistencies, flow, checking grammar, spelling, style, and punctuation. This is the step AFTER content or developmental editing. Email us if you need that stage of edit.
-
Copy edit it.
This is lighter than a complete comb through… maybe like a finger detangle. Includes checking grammar, spelling, style, and punctuation.
-
Proof read it.
The manuscript should be a nearly finished product and ALREADY edited by a professional editor. Proofing is your final editing step and will check for those nasty little missed typographical errors with an eagle eye.
-
Publish it.
Did you know our parent company publishes books? Yep. Just let us know if you're interested in submitting your manuscript and we'll get you to the right imprint for your genre.
-
Developmental editing
Fill out the interest form with details and I can get back to you on it. This is a bit more complex and personal to just give a flat answer and rate.
-
Talk to me about it.
We do not clean houses or babysit your kids. We may consider dog walking. We love helping new and old—experienced and inexperienced—seasoned and unseasoned—any bestseller, indie author, and anyone trying to become an author… we are here, just ask! And YES, we absolutely do beta reading too!
WHY ARE MY PRICES NOT ONLINE AND PUBLIC?
Look. I’m not trying to get a phone call outta you. I’m not trying to upsell you on anything. In fact, I have a difficult time hearing on the phone. We don’t even have to have a conversation. You simply just request the pricing and I send a template to you. I don’t follow up. I don’t call you. I don’t upsell you on anything. It’s merely not displayed publicly because I do like to stay competitive… READ THAT AS I’M KEEPING YOUR RATES LOW BY NOT POSTING. Posting my prices goes into the search engines, and robots and start-ups use that info. Does not benefit me nor you.
I promise. I vow. I swear. You will not get any calls or sales from me. This is simply to protect my costs and my business. Period. That’s it. No games. No scams. No calls. Fill out the form, you’ll receive a one-time email template from me. Respond if you want. Don’t if you don’t want.
Stand out.
JUST A NOTE WHILE YOU SEARCH FOR YOUR NEW BFF/EDITOR:
And the heading of this is misleading. Keep in mind that you actually do not need to be BFFs with your editor. Or maybe YOU do.
A relationship with your editor is important and will vary greatly. Do your research. Ask your questions. Have some idea of what you need and want from the person that is going to be babysitting your manuscript for a little while. You are about to bond over something that is personal to you. But only you can figure out what type of connection or relationship you need with that person.
I love to hold your virtual hand, but am an editor of few words. I am an editor that connects and engages strongly with your writing. People are sometimes scary. I will give you my time to answer your questions and concerns, but please remember I have other clients I’m giving that same virtual TLC to as well. Don’t feel neglected with my introverted tendencies and quiet disposition at times. I’m open to nudges though if I’m being too quiet for your brain to relax. But majority of the time I’m just plugging away on connecting with your words that you just handed me. Or dreaming. Or analyzing. Or eating.
I may not be the editor for you and that is a-okay, there is the perfect one for every author. And there is a perfect author for every editor. Sometimes it feels a bit like a dating app and everyone is wondering why they weren’t “good enough” to be “chosen” by the other person. Remember to communicate your needs and wants to any editor you’re considering. They are considering you too. And be open and honest if you need to move on to not waste your time or the editor’s. Sometimes your editor is feeling the same way and with communication, no one walks away feeling like they weren’t good enough on either side.
Either way. I love ya and keep doing what you’re doing. Keep writing. Keep dreaming. Keep going.
