Individual Services

Targeted editorial support, exactly where it’s needed.

Every manuscript needs something different. Below are the ways I help writers move forward.

Manuscript Evaluation

Often the best first step for early drafts. Big-picture feedback on strengths and weaknesses, focusing on elements like plot, world-building, and character development. You’ll receive an overall assessment in a Word document.

From $0.015 per word.

Questions? Email me, and let’s chat.

Developmental Edit

A good step for when something isn’t working, but you can’t see why. A focus on the content and substance of your manuscript, with in-depth feedback on whatever elements need the most attention—structure, plot, character development, narrative flow, and more. You’ll receive an overall assessment in a Word document, along with in-text comments showing exactly where ideas need refining, gaps need filling, or excess needs trimming. 

From $0.03 per word.

Questions? Email me, and let’s chat.

Language Edits (Line and/or Copyediting)

The final step once the story’s solid. Word-level editing for accuracy, consistency, clarity, and adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster. Sentence-level editing to polish, elevate, and refine your prose for flow, rhythm, and impact—while preserving and enhancing your voice. You’ll receive a twice-passed manuscript with in-text comments and tracked changes, along with a custom-made style sheet.

From $0.02 per word.

Because language needs vary widely, this service always begins with a conversation. 

Questions? Email me, and let’s chat.

If you’re unsure which service fits your manuscript—or if none of them do—email me anyway. I’d be happy to chat with you.

Whether you need general editorial guidance, specific information, or help figuring out next steps, let me be a resource for you. Feel free to reach out whenever. And whyever.
