Copy Editing & Line Editing
A proper editor is a human partner in your writing journey who can assist you both grammatically and creatively while retaining your unique authorial voice. As your editor, I can help you find spots that snag, note inconsistencies in content details, and clean up easy-to-miss errors that may otherwise distract your readers. This way you can publish your novel, short story, script, article, blog post, resume, or website with complete confidence.
​
When I edit, I prefer to approach writing both mechanically and artistically; a combination of copy editing and line editing. If you would prefer I focus on one or the other, I can adjust accordingly. Copy editing focuses on grammar and spelling, tense shifts, redundancies, and inconsistencies. Line editing focuses most on syntax and flow, filter and filler words, head-hopping, white room syndrome, show versus tell, etc. Both types of editing can make all the difference in a reader's experience.
If you do not already have one, I will provide a personalized style sheet for any manuscript more than ten pages long.

My editing services generally range between $0.017 - $0.025 per word. I am open to negotiating for those on tight budgets, particularly clients who are self-publishing!
As a writer myself, I understand how daunting it can be to share your unfinished work with someone. My goal is not to railroad your writing but to simply assist in its refining and polishing. I aim to support your creative process, not butcher it.
