Affordable Novel Editing Services
Good editing makes stories balanced, beautiful, and whole.
As a fellow writer and member of our shared literary community, I strive to offer affordable novel editing services to fiction writers of all genres. My services range from proofreading and copyediting to in-depth editorial development services, including manuscript evaluations and line editing. I also offer detailed short story critiques for writers pursuing publishing credits. My rates range from one to five cents per word, depending on the level of service, and are some of the lowest deemed appropriate by the Editorial Freelancer Association.

Manuscript Review
Finished your first draft? A manuscript review offers a detailed roadmap to guide you on your self-editing journey. I'll take a deep dive into your story, evaluating the strength of the narrative and detailing any structural weaknesses. Together, we'll create a personalized revision plan to help you perfect your final draft on your own.
Line Editing
Line editing is a developmental service that not only strives to enhance language and eliminate errors at the sentence level but also works to improve your narrative by addressing scene work and other chapter-level storytelling issues, ensuring both your prose and your narrative flow flawlessly.
Copyediting
Copyediting goes beyond identifying and fixing surface-level errors in grammar, spelling, and style. As your copyeditor, I'll delve into your manuscript line by line to evaluate sentence structure, clarity, and flow. I also strive to provide accuracy with careful fact-checking.
Short Story Critiques
Struggling to find your short fiction a good literary home? While rejection is part of the process, a story that keeps bouncing back might benefit from review. A detailed critique by an experienced editor may be exactly what you need to knock that short story or flash fiction piece into publishable shape.
