How Does This All Work?
Step 1 - Free Sample Edit
Send me a 1,000 word sample from the middle of your manuscript (about 3 double-spaced Microsoft Word or Google Doc pages), and I will conduct a free sample edit. This helps me determine what level of editing your manuscript needs so I can give you an accurate quote, and lets you know if my editing style will work for you!
Step 2 - Book Your Edit
I will return your edited sample to you, along with a quote for the full project based on your estimated word count. If you decide to move forward, I will send you an invoice for a 50% nonrefundable deposit, with the remainder due upon completion of the edit. I accept payments via PayPal.
Step 3 - Editing
I will read through your manuscript, and make suggested changes using the method you have selected: either by using the Track Changes function of Google Docs and inserting comments and suggestions using the Comments function; or by marking up a PDF for your reference.
I use the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the preferred style guide among professional book editors. For spelling, I use Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary. I will return the edited manuscript to you by our agreed-upon deadline. You then decide what changes you want to make to your story; I am always available via email to answer any questions you have about my suggested changes.
Step 4 - Final Payment
I will let you know once your edit is complete, at which point I will invoice you for the remaining amount due. As soon as payment has been made, I’ll send the completed edit over to you to review, and implement or reject changes as you see fit.
Step 5 - Publish!
Please let me know when your novel is published! With your permission, I like to include my clients’ novels in my completed works and testimonials. This is good advertising for both of us.
