Literary & Editorial Services
Not sure what kind of editing service you need? That’s perfectly fine. I gladly offer sample edits to help identify what level of editing will best suit you and your manuscript. A sample edit is also a good way to see if we’re the right fit for a productive and satisfying writer/editor collaboration. Below are the services currently available. Book mapping will be available in the second half of 2022. Take a gander and feel free to contact me to discuss your project.

Let’s talk more about editing services
- Developmental Edit: A deep dive into the big picture issues. Includes extensive manuscript comments and an editorial letter. Often procured after several drafts of author revisions.
- Line Edit: A Sentence-level focus on content style, phrasings, word usage. Inludes manuscript comments and an editorial letter. Often considered an ‘intermediary’ between a developmental edit and copyedit.
- Copyedit: A careful and thorough comb-through of the manuscript, fixing readability errors and inconsistencies. Includes a style sheet. Often seen as the last edit before sending the manuscript to agents and publishers. Self-publishers would want to hire an eagle-eyed proofreader after the copyedit.
