Line editing

$100 per 5,000 words || $0.020 per word

This package is exactly how it sounds—line editing. Along with basic copyediting for grammar or syntax errors, per-line and per-paragraph changes and suggestions will be made, and plot holes, inconsistencies, and readability will be checked for. A free 400-word sample using your work may be provided upon request. A memo of considerations for changes or enhancements in terms of plot, characters, writing style, or world development will be given as often as seen fit, and these suggestions may be discussed and flushed-out with you if requested.

If your book has not yet received developmental editing, it is strongly recommended before beginning line editing.

What to Expect

I will never impede on your vision or remove your voice from the story because I understand what it feels like to cherish your creative work. You have the right to disregard any and all suggestions and changes I make because it is, after all, your story.

All rights are retained by the author and are in no way owned by or accredited to me and it is not required for you to mention my assistance in the project on any platform. However, you will be a life-long friend if I’m featured in your acknowledgments.

Specific time frames will be given as each project is different and every week brings changes to my availability. Every 10 pages submitted can typically be expected after one to two business days depending on my schedule and the amount of editing required or bought.

I believe in learning during the editing phase, so I may explain the reasoning behind any suggestions or changes and provide relevant resources that may be of interest to you.

I want your work to succeed as much as you do, therefore, I will not tread lightly. There isn’t a mean, rude, or cynical bone in my body, so you are assured that you will never be mistreated, but I am not afraid to mark up your pages.

What I’m Looking For

While I will accept any idea or manuscript that strikes my interest, my passion is in young adult and adult fiction—specifically fantasy, fantasy romance, science-fiction, & historical fiction. Would I still love to work with you on your contemporary romance? Most likely. I love books.

Authors must always be willing to accept critique no matter the toll it may take on your heart to see your work edited. Please keep in mind that I’m only trying to help you and mean no insult to you or your work—so please be kind.
