Services
I offer a wide range of editorial and writing services. We can start with a complimentary chat about your project. From there, I offer an editing or writing sample for a flat fee, so we can determine if my approach is a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will make a plan based on your goals, budget, and time frame.
My hourly rates run from $50 - $125, depending on the complexity of the work and the turnaround time. Helpful info about median rates is available through the Editorial Freelancers Association. For explanations of the different levels of editing and types of editorial services, see the helpful resources here and here.
Draft
Do you have a compilation of notes, ideas, and writing but need help finding its shape and structure? A lot of text that needs culling? An outline that needs fleshing out? You have all the ideas but none of the time to organize them coherently? I offer ghostwriting and book ideation services to help your project grow up and fulfill its potential. I also offer constructive feedback as an alpha- or beta-reader.
Craft
Is your draft done, but not yet its best self? Have you read it so many times that you’ve lost all objectivity but are pretty sure it still needs some work? Wondering if your arguments can be made more clear to readers, or if your characters are fully defined? Feel good about your content but want a thorough look at your writing at the sentence level? I offer substantive, developmental, and line editing that can address these concerns and more.
Polish
Is your writing in its final stages—just about ready to go—but needs a fresh set of eyes to polish grammar and style and catch any lingering mistakes or typos? I can help with copyediting and proofreading. I stay up to date in the foundations of grammar and style as well as the most current style-guide updates and can create a custom style sheet to edit your work according to your preferences.
