First Impression Edit
Send me the first 20 pages of your manuscript and the type of editing you are needing. I’ll review these pages for free to see if we would be a good fit.
7-day turnaround — $20 (USD)
Beta Reading
As a beta reader, I will read through your manuscript from the perspective of a typical reader. I will give you my honest reactions to the text, such as what made me laugh, if I cried, the parts that kept my eyes glued to the page, etc. I will also give feedback regarding pacing and any issues with the plot. Once it’s published, your book will get a feature on my Instagram and will be reviewed on Goodreads/Amazon/other website of choice.
14 days — $0.003/word (USD)
Copy Editing
This stage requires a careful read-through of your manuscript to check for errors in style, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If using a style guide, I will ensure your writing follows what is outlined in the guide and make corrections if necessary. I’ll also be responsible for basic fact-checking, including names, numbers, and dates, as well as trademark use/copyrighted material. Lastly, any issues with consistency, clarity, or readability will be addressed in the copy editing phase.

Proofreading
This is the final stage before publishing. Here, I will read through your manuscript for errors in grammar, punctuation, and style. I will also be checking for consistency in style and formatting. If using a style guide, I will check your work against what is outlined in the guide.
14 days — $0.006/word (USD)
