Editing for Indie Authors
Hi, I'm Hayley and I am proud to offer affordable, budget-friendly editing services for indie authors on a budget.
I'm a native English speaker with 8+ years of experience in editing and copywriting, including a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I'm proud to have worked with 20+ indie authors on more than 40 books. I'm most comfortable with reading/editing books in the following genres:
-
Paranormal/Fantasy Romance (all spice levels)
-
Contemporary Romance (all spice levels)
Don't write in those genres? Don't worry! I'm more than happy to take a look at your novel no matter what the genre is, though I will ask that you disclose any potentially disturbing or triggering content that may be in your book. I reserve the right to decline the project if I feel it isn't right for me.
Take a look at the services below, then fill out the form on the appropriate page to get started, or send me an email at hmdxrling@gmail.com.
I require 1,000-word editing samples for all prospective clients to best determine if we are a good fit to work together. Sample edits are FREE and turnaround time is 2-4 days.
