Packages

This package includes full developmental editing and full line editing services. There are two full rounds of editing in this package. The first will be developmental edits along with some light line edits throughout. Once the author has finished their revisions, they resubmit for a line edit. Turnaround time: 8-12 weeks, depending on the length of the manuscript and the extent of necessary edits.
Cost is split into either two or four payments, depending upon the preferences and needs of the author. Price is reevaluated for the second round of edits if the word count has either increased or decreased by 500 words or more.

Light Copy Editing plus Final Proofreading Package
Light copy edit plus proofreading services include a read-through of the final draft of the manuscript before formatting looking for minor issues missed in previous edits, such as inconsistencies; continuity and flow; basic errors in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. It also includes notes about any issues or suggestions I see regarding clarity, word usage, and repetitiveness, as well as minor changes to those issues.

This is a service that is best suited for those manuscripts that are well-polished, only need minor fixes and proofreading, and are almost ready to be printed.
