Introduction: Proof Read and Copy Edit: $1 per manuscript page Content Edit and Re-write: $2 per manuscript page I teach Creative Writing at Brenau University. I have published two novels and one nonfiction, all available on Kindle. In the past two years I have edited 15 novels, mostly beginning authors, two of which have made the top 100 on Kindle paid sales. As I work I teach inexperienced authors the fiction concepts of point-of-view, dialogue, narrative, tense, person, pace, conflict, climax and resolution, so they can learn to edit their own work and continue to write productively. I sample edit 10 pages free and bill by PayPal every 25 to 50 pages to make sure the author is completely satisfied with the work. All correspondence is done by email and Word-Track Changes shows the writer the detail of every change to accept or reject. References available on request.

Steve Ward is a wonderful editor. He reviews each page of work with a keen eye and tells you what works and what doesn't work. He tells you when to heighten the conflict if there's been an over-flux of backstory or narrative. He's very easy to work with and I couldn't be happier with how my debut novel 'Alecner' turned out!

Steve did an excellent job with my novella. He kept my voice and did what an edit/proofreader is suppose to do, edit and proof to where now those who read my story tell me rave reviews. I just wish more would write review. :-)

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask for a free sample. Contract only 25-50 pages at a time. Pay only when satisfied with each submission. Don't let any editor change your Writer's voice. Keep a sense of humor. Learn to edit your own work, but always ask for a second opinion.
