Proofreading
How It Works
Proofreading is for books that are almost ready for publication, but just need one final look for any typos, grammar errors, or inconsistencies. Let's get started!
You'll send me your draft, and I will go through a thorough round of edits centered around grammar, spelling, etc. This will take me approximately 1 week.
I will then send the draft back to you with tracked changes. From there, it's up to you whether you'd like to accept or deny any changes I made.
Pricing
Pricing starts at a flat rate of $150 for up to 50,000 words. For books longer than 50,000 words, please add $25 for each additional tier of up to 10,000 words.
​
Exact pricing will be discussed per project and provided with your contract, but see below for a general breakdown.
For books longer than 80,000 words, pricing will continue in the same pattern.
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.
FAQ
How long does it take?
​
This is determined by the length of your novel, but generally I will have your project back to you within 14 days of our start date. If you need it faster, I will charge a rush fee (which will vary based on project length, time, and is up to my discretion).
What genres do you accept?
​
I'm most comfortable with editing books in the following genres:
Paranormal/Fantasy Romance (all spice levels)
Paranormal/Fantasy (no romance)
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.
What if I don't like an edit you made?
That's okay too! All my edits will be made via tracked changes, so you can accept or deny them based on your preference.
Can I book in advance?
​
I accept bookings in advance depending on availability. However, since I charge by word count, it is best that you book with me when your book is very close to done.
