To say the least, Sarah took on a mess when editing my book. I’m a creative and not an avid reader, sad to say. She brightened my book with a broader vocabulary, eliminated unnecessary scenes, changed redundant sentence structures, fact checked, and line edited. Because of her I am now more than an author of a book, I am a writer and it’s because of Sarah. Thank you Sarah.

Fastest response I’ve ever had. She finished a 5,000 word edit in less than 24 hours. I will be hiring her again. She did great work!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I can charge by word or by hour. I want to be fair in my pricing, and I am open to negotiation.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I do a free sample edit to see if we are a good fit, and then I will go from there.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I do not have any formal training, but I have been proofreading and editing papers since high school. In 2017, I completed several online creative writing courses through coursera.com. I utilize the lessons I learned in those classes in my editing and writing, whether it is fiction or nonfiction. I also read between 40 and 60 books a year. I read a mix of fiction and nonfiction, and I am well versed in what makes a book readable and enjoyable for the end user.
