I currently provide the following editing services. (At the present time, I do not edit Young Adult, Horror, or inspirational romance. New Adult editing will be a case by case basis. I also do not edit "first" books, which are an author's very first books written, unless it's previously been vetted by an industry professional--an agent or another editor.) Many times these books aren't ready for an editor's eyes and can take double or even triple the time needed for an edit, which has to be billed accordingly.

Comprehensive/Developmental Editing. This includes finding plot issues, looking at character development, emotional drive, misused or overused words, pacing problems, sentence structure, etc. Services here will also cover strengthening your plot and characters, finding places where deep POV can be added, etc. This service will also include light line editing.

In the same vein, I also do historical content editing. This includes doing a comprehensive sweep of your historical romance to check for anachronisms (modern things, pieces of clothing, words and phrases that should't be in your chosen time period) My strengths lie currently in the Regency and Victorian genres. The charge for this service is .0070 cents a word and will take the same amount of time to edit as listed below.

• Unless you have been quoted for a specific job, I charge 0.0070 cents per word. This means, if you have a 25,000 word novella, the cost would be $175.00.
• Anything under 50K will take me a week to edit. Anything over 50K will take me two weeks to edit (weekends and holidays not included).

Line Edits Only

• If you're in need of line editing, I charge 0.0050 cents per word.
