Editing Services
I have extensive experience in editing, formatting, proofreading, and writing. With a keen eye for detail, I work hard to provide the best possible outcome to any project hired for. I have reviewed both fiction and non-fiction works to prepare them for publishing in digital and print form. As such, I am familiar with KDP and Smashwords.
I am an avid reader including fantasy, romance, science-fiction, and non-fiction.

FAQs
What do your rates include?
Each service includes one complete pass of editing. Many editors out there have two or three passes included in their pricing. I am able to provide quality service at an affordable rate by allowing the customer to decide how many passes to hire me for. With that said, I do strongly suggest a proofread to be done after final revisions (and I offer a discount on manuscripts I have previously edited).
When should I purchase a full copyedit?
I strongly suggest going over your draft a number of times before hiring an editor. And after your revisions, ask some beta readers to take a look. Then do more revisions. After that, you’re ready for a full line and copyedit.
When should I purchase a proofread?
Proofreading should be one of the last steps in the editing process–after you review your editor’s revisions, make your changes, and format your manuscript.
What file type should I send you to edit?
I utilize track changes in Microsoft Word. Please send doc or docx files.
Do you offer content or developmental editing?
At this time, I do not do rewrites. I will, however, comment on areas that could be improved or clarified, and I offer suggestions/questions that will help point you in the right direction.
Do you offer a formatting service?
At this time, I do not. However, that may change in the future.
What experience do you have editing?
I regularly freelance for an independent publishing company, Valixi Inc. I also edit and format for Will Bly, a dark fantasy author. Previous to branching out on my own, I picked up a number of writing and editing projects via Upwork. I have been regularly hired to quickly and efficiently edit blog articles.
Why are your rates so low?
Editing is my passion. I truly love it. And I love reading. What better way to make some extra cash while enjoying two things I love. To boot, I love being able to support independent authors. My husband is an indie author, and I understand the struggles of writing, let alone having to shell out hundreds of dollars on an expensive editor. I offer a quality edit at a price you can afford.
How do payments work?
Payment is made by PayPal only. I require 25% prior to starting any work and the remainder once edits are complete.
I will send you a contract agreement via email. Once I receive your confirmation of agreement via email and first payment, I will begin work.
Will your prices increase?
My prices are subject to change. I will, however, keep loyal customers in mind when implementing any new price change.
