Editing, Proofreading, and Mentoring Services

A proofread of a non-fiction manuscript includes basic edits such as grammar and spelling, formatting lists, and suggestions for rewording for the sake of clarity. The assumption is that you have done your research and the content is accurate, and the only thing you need is a once-over to make sure it’s publication-ready.

Prices start at $0.015 (1.5 cents) per word.

A full edit includes all the basics in a proofread, plus fact-checking, checking sources cited, and copyright and fair use laws around cited material.

Prices start at $0.03 per word but increase depending on the amount of work required

 Mentoring new authors and speakers is my passion. I love seeing the potential helping you achieve it. Mentoring includes reading and evaluating your manuscript or public message, giving feedback, and answering any questions you may have. It’s a relationship that goes back and forth as I help you focus and streamline your specific strengths and weaknesses. $200 for 8 hours - scheduled convenient sessions. 

Can’t afford a full review? A review of the first fifty pages give you a good idea of what you need to work on and give you tools to self-edit the rest of your manuscript.

Prices start at $250 for 100 pages or approximately 20,000 words.*

I provide editing and proofreading services that ensure your writing is polished and error-free. Whether you need a light edit or a deep dive into your manuscript, I'll help you create a final product that meets your standards. I'm open to conversation regarding your specific needs.

 Starting at $.02 per word, a full manuscript review includes a detailed edit of the first twenty-five pages and an overall content edit of the full manuscript. What’s working, what isn’t, plot holes and character motivations, and your common pitfalls to watch for and improve. Prices increase based on amount of work needed. Payment plans available.*
