Editing Process & Rates

Editing Process & Rates

It's simple:

​

 

The first step in getting your manuscript fit for publishing is to seek out beta readers. Think of them as a test audience. These readers should be familiar with your genre and will give you valuable, constructive feedback on what works and what doesn't in your writing and overall story. Once you have gone through that process, you can move on to editing. Fortunately, I do both! 

​

I am experienced in all aspects of the editing process from start to finish, so you can come to me at any stage along the way. 

 

If you are ready to get started, simply send a short excerpt of your work with a brief synopsis of your story. I will then send back a free sample edit, along with a quote of what the project will cost. 

​

From there we will come up with a plan and deadline that best suits your needs.

​

Publishing a book is truly a journey— I can't wait to start it with you!
