If you’re unsure whether your project is the right fit, I’m always happy to talk it through with you.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Feeling unsure about which service your manuscript needs is completely normal. Every project is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to editing.
If you’re not certain what the next best step is, I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation. This gives us a chance to talk through your goals, where your manuscript is in the process, and which level of editorial support will serve you best, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Flexible payment options
I understand how much time, energy, and heart goes into writing a book. Investing in professional editing is a big step, and I want that process to feel as accessible and supportive as possible.
For clients who qualify, flexible payment plans are available through a trusted third-party provider such as Affirm, allowing you to move forward without unnecessary financial stress.
Editorial Assessment
Not sure what your manuscript needs most? Or just looking for a broad overview? Start here.
An editorial assessment offers a broad, high-level evaluation of your manuscript, designed to help you understand what’s working, what may be holding your story back, and where to focus your revision efforts next. I’ll read your manuscript with an editorial eye, looking at the core elements that shape your story as a whole.
This service is ideal if you’re feeling unsure about next steps or want professional insight before committing to deeper revisions. Unlike a developmental edit, an editorial assessment does not include in-depth line comments or scene-by-scene feedback. Instead, you’ll receive a comprehensive editorial letter that outlines strengths, identifies key areas for improvement, and provides a clear direction for moving forward.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
This service provides clear, actionable feedback in the form of a detailed editorial letter, with a focus on the big-picture elements of your manuscript, including:
-
Overall plot structure and story arc
-
Character goals, motivations, and development
-
Pacing, conflict, and tension
-
Point of view and narrative focus
-
World-building and setting impact
-
Theme and cohesion
-
Reader appeal and market fit
-
Clarity, readability, and engagement at the big-picture level
You’ll also receive:
-
A detailed editorial letter summarizing strengths, areas for improvement, and prioritized next steps for revision.
-
Two thirty-minute phone or video chats—one before the edit to align on your goals, and one after to walk through feedback and answer questions.

Developmental Edit
Does something in your story feel off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it?
A developmental edit focuses on the big-picture elements of your manuscript—the foundation that holds your story together. Together, we’ll take a close look at your plot arc, character motivations, pacing, and narrative flow to uncover what’s working, what’s holding the story back, and where it can grow stronger.
You’ll walk away with an in-depth roadmap for revision—one that highlights your story’s strengths while offering clear, actionable guidance for strengthening the areas that need more support. The goal isn’t to change your voice, but to help you tell your story with more clarity, confidence, and impact. Every manuscript is different, and this edit is tailored to meet your story where it is.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
This developmental edit includes a full evaluation of your manuscript's big-picture elements, with thoughtful in-line comments and chapter-by-chapter feedback designed to support you through the revision process—not overwhelm you.
Focuses on:
-
Plot structure and arc (hook, rising action, climax, and resolution)
-
Character development, goals, and motivations
-
Pacing and tension throughout the manuscript
-
Conflict and scene functionality
-
World-building and setting consistency
-
Theme and narrative cohesion
-
Point of view and perspective consistency
-
Dialogue distinction and effectiveness
-
Transitions between scenes and chapters
-
Overall clarity, readability, and engagement
You’ll also receive:
-
A comprehensive editorial letter that outlines strengths, weaknesses, and a clear revision plan.
-
Two one-hour phone or video chats—one before the edit to align on your goals, and one after to walk through feedback, answer questions, and help you move forward with clarity.
PRICE: $0.03 PER WORD
Post-Revision Manuscript Review (Optional Add-On)
Revising can feel overwhelming, and it’s completely normal to want a second set of eyes after you’ve made your changes. If you’d like reassurance that your revisions are working as intended, this optional add-on offers a high-level review of your revised manuscript.
I’ll assess the overall effectiveness of your revisions, with a focus on structure, clarity, narrative flow, and big-picture cohesion. This review is designed to help you move forward with confidence—it does not include in-depth line edits, extensive in-line comments, or a second full developmental edit, but rather an overall manuscript assessment with thoughtful, actionable guidance.
Pricing: 30% of the original developmental edit fee
Line Edit
Do your sentences ever feel awkward—or almost right, but not quite there?
A line edit focuses on the craft of your writing at the sentence level, refining your prose so it reads smoothly, clearly, and with intention. I’ll work closely with your manuscript line by line, polishing language, improving flow, and addressing issues that may distract readers or pull them out of the story.
This edit focuses on clarity, voice, and style by correcting issues such as wordiness, awkward phrasing, tense shifts, and repetition, all while preserving your unique voice. The goal is not to rewrite your work, but to help your writing feel more confident, cohesive, and professionally polished.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
This service includes a complete line-by-line edit using track changes and in-line comments, with careful attention to:
-
Style consistency
-
Overused words and repetitive phrases
-
Identification of filter words
-
Awkward metaphors and clichés
-
Point-of-view shifts
-
Tense consistency
-
Dialogue style, including punctuation, tags, and word choice as it relates to character voice
-
Tone
-
Pacing
-
Show vs. tell prose
-
Character trait consistency
-
Formatting, including letter, line, and paragraph spacing
-
Clarity, readability, and flow
-
Grammar
You’ll also receive:
-
A customized style sheet based on patterns and editorial decisions observed in your manuscript, serving as a helpful reference for future revisions or projects.
-
Two thirty-minute phone or video chats—one before the edit to align on your goals, and one after to walk through feedback and answer questions.
PRICE: $0.025 PER WORD
Polish Proofread
Ready to put the finishing touches on your manuscript?
Proofreading is the final step before publication. At this stage, I’ll carefully review your manuscript to catch small errors and inconsistencies that may have slipped through earlier rounds of editing. The goal is to ensure your work reads smoothly and professionally, without distractions that pull readers out of the story.
This service focuses on accuracy and consistency rather than revision. It’s designed for manuscripts that have already been revised and edited, and are ready for a final, careful review before submission or publication.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
This service includes a detailed proofread using track changes, with attention to the following:
-
Typos and misspellings
-
Grammatical issues
-
Word choice confusion (such as homophones, prepositions, and definite/indefinite articles)
-
Punctuation misuse (commas, apostrophes, hyphens, em dashes, en dashes)
-
Stylistic inconsistencies (capitalization, numbers, etc.)
You’ll also receive:
-
Two thirty-minute phone or video chats, one before the proofread to align on expectations and one after to answer questions and walk through final notes.
