Still have a question?

  • Ask yourself these questions:

    • Am I committed to this completing this writing project?

    • Am I willing to put boundaries in place to complete this writing project?

    • Am I willing to dedicate regular time each week to this writing project?

    • Am I comfortable discussing my project via email?

    If you answered “Yes” to all four of these questions, you’re likely ready for coaching and accountability.

  • When I receive your quote request, I’ll take a look at your sample and assess whether you’re ready for edits. If it looks like we’ll be a good fit, I’ll put together my offer, as well as a sample edit. If you agree that we’re a good match, you’ll accept my offer and we’ll get you on my schedule.

    Once the project has officially started and you’ve sent me your final manuscript, I deep dive into it. During this time, you likely won’t hear from me much, as I’m saving all my comments and suggestions for the editorial letter. I don’t offer mid-project updates or check-ins because your job is not to think about the manuscript or work on it in any way. The goal is for you to take a breather and feel fresh when you have my edits in hand.

    When I’m done editing, I’ll send everything back to you, then it’s in your hands. I’m happy to answer questions or clarify my thoughts after I’m done editing, but you are responsible for the actual revisions.

  • The cost of developmental editing varies based on length of your novel and the level of editing needed. A 20,000-word novella that is very clean might start at $0.02/word, while a 150,000-word novel that is on the rough side might start at $0.04/word. Each quote is tailored to your manuscript.

  • Actually, no! Part of my quoting process involves taking a look at your sample edit and determining whether you’re ready for developmental editing. If I think a different level of editing would be more beneficial to you, I’ll offer that instead, or if I think that you need to keep working on the manuscript before bringing in an editor, I’ll let you know first. It’s not beneficial to you OR me to work on a manuscript that’s not ready for editing.

  • That’s totally okay! My suggestions are just that—my own suggestions. At the end of the day, this is YOUR story, and you get to make the choices. I’ll do my best to explain WHY I suggest each change, however, so you can make an informed decision.
