Editing services are available across a range of genres.

Fiction & Literary Nonfiction

  • Developmental Edit

    This comprehensive edit involves a chapter-by-chapter review and critique of your book, which is delivered in an editing document accompanied by an annotated version of your manuscript. This type of edit is also known as a substantive or structural edit and reviews high-level issues as well as nitty-gritty plot points.

  • Line Edit

    A content edit addressing readability, style, substance, and flow at the sentence level. This edit includes but is not contained to a copy edit.

  • Proofread

    A final-draft edit addressing spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

As well as standalone edits, I offer a two-tier editing package, which involves a developmental edit and a second round of edits (including a line edit). Rates are dependent on size and scope of work. For a quote specific to your currency and requirements, please contact me. As well as discussing scheduling and capacity, I will request a synopsis and/or extract of your book to assess whether we would be a good fit.
