Editing and Proofreading Services

---

Romance readers are fickle. Reviewers can be brutal. Too many story inconsistencies can turn off a reader which could make any possible success into considerably less. A great edit will make sure even the most careful reader will be able to follow a story without question or confusion.  I offer developmental , line , and copy editing. I work closely with my authors and communicate throughout the process making sure your vison comes to life and stays true to your voice.

Is editing  worth the money? You tell me. Is it worth it if you get more readers and sell more books? Is it worth it if reviewers on Goodreads, Instagram, Blogs, and Facebook tout the perfection of your writing and recommend your book?  

I believe a well written, edited, proofread book will sell better and garner more attention.  Attention is everything in the self publishing world.  Thus, worth the cost.  Any cost.

Services I offer:

Developmental edit- Looks at the story as a whole—plot, characterization, setting, pace, reader expectation, POV, structure, ambiguity, missing elements, scene order, overall feeling.

Line Edit- Sentence structure, word choice, clarity, readability, and how the sentences and words contribute to the tone and emotion of the story.

Copy edit- Proofread before the proofread. Loods at grammar, spelling, syntax, overused/misused words.

Cost:

Depending on services and stage of your WIP, cost ranges between .006-.016 per word.

Blurb Writing- 

$75 as an add-on to an edit

$100 as a standalone service

I do not offer final proofreads. I believe that the more eyes that see a work before it's published the better it will be. After any and all types of editing, a final proofread should be completed after formatting, before publishing.
