THE CREATIVE
You wrote a book! And you finished! This is nothing short of amazing, and I don’t use exclamation points lightly, but now what?
With this edit, I’ll read for plot, character, pacing, setting and world-building, description, consistency, clarity, and tone/voice, as well as looking for any spots you might be able to deepen or strengthen your story. Light line editing included.
You’ll receive an editor letter, inline comments, and a follow up conversation for questions and clarity via Marco Polo, Zoom, or a good old-fashioned phone call.

THE LINE
After you’ve got your story ironed out, it’s time to sand the edges and polish to a shine.
With this edit, I’ll focus on consistency, clarity, and word choice. I’ll make sure you’re grounding your reader in time and place, that pronouns are clear, and that your sentences flow for ease of readability, no matter your writing style. Light copy editing included.
You’ll receive track changes and inline comments explaining why those changes were made.

THE COPY
Almost ready to hit publish? Need some fresh eyes to make sure your punctuation and spelling is solid?
If you feel confident in your prose and/or do not want any changes made to the rhythm and flow of your words, then this is the edit for you.
You’ll receive track changes in either Word or Google docs (your preference) and a style sheet. Any spots that seem unclear or inconsistent will be flagged.
Please note that you will not get any creative feedback or extensive line editing with this copy edit.
