FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For smaller editing jobs, my rate is $85/hour. For full book-length edits, I quote by the job depending on word count and what type of editing is needed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After I read a sample of your work and know your book's word count, and we agree on a price, you email me your manuscript and I edit it using Microsoft Word's Tracking Changes. I typically take one month to turn around a full-length book manuscript. When it's complete, I email it back with edits in the text, comments in the margins, and 2-3 pages of notes.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in English and an MFA in Creative Writing. I worked as a newspaper editor and reporter for three years before quitting to work freelance as a writer and editor.
