I specialize in nonfiction copy editing but perform the following services for both fiction and nonfiction. I am knowledgeable in Associated Press and Chicago styles but adhere to other style guides as needed. Fees follow those across the editorial industry, but reasonable arrangements can be made to accommodate different budgets. 

 

Editorial assessment: Close and objective reading of material, detailed and comprehensive editorial letter and a follow-up conversation. This service complements your developmental editor’s work; it stands alone and does not include subsequent reviews. Beginning at $60 per hour

 

Copy editing: Reading to ensure consistency, cohesion and clarity. Rewriting as needed, light fact checking and proofreading. This service is best requested after more substantive revisions to your manuscript, article, etc., are complete. Beginning at $50 per hour

 

Proofreading: Reading to apply proper formatting, grammar and punctuation. This should be the last service your work receives before submission and/or publication. Beginning at $40 per hour
