Overview
I’m an editor specializing in speculative fiction, YA and middle grade fiction, romance, and literary nonfiction. I provide copyediting and proofreading for publishers as well as manuscript evaluations, developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading.
I provide sample edits of up to 2,000 words for $50. The cost of all other work depends on the length, type, stage, and style of your individual project. I do require a portion of the payment before I begin work.
After I submit my feedback on your writing, I am happy to answer a few follow-up questions via messaging at any editing stage. For developmental editing, I also recommend authors discuss the editorial letter on a call with me a week or so after I send it to you.
I love this work, and I'm excited to hear from you about your story. If you reach out and don't hear from me right away, that's because I always put current clients first to ensure every projects get the care and attention it deserves. Don't worry—I'll get back to you soon.
