Content/Developmental Editing: $0.010/word

Typically, my work will start once your first draft is completed. This type of editing focuses on the deepest aspects of your work and is meant to ensure your story is as good as it can be.

Most of the time, writers are too close to their story and their characters. As such, I’m here to give you an unbiased opinion and objective insight. 

Some of the things I will be covering:

* Plot development and plot holes

* Character development and arcs

* Tension buildup and conflict

* Dialogue use and flow

* Pacing

* Unnecessary scenes and repetitive content

* Steamy content flow

* Writing style and consistency

Content editing will help you develop your characters and your plot, structure your next draft, and make sure your story is told in a way that matches what you want it to be.

Copy & Line Editing: $0.008/word

This is a longer process that deals with the more style-related aspects of your book. It should take place after content editing, or, as it often happens, after alpha and beta readers have taken a look at your text. 

Attention to detail is the name of the game here, so I’ll be checking the mechanicals of your text—grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. 

This includes things like:

* Typos, misspelled or misused words, as well as repetitions 

* Comma placement

* Subject/verb agreement

* Plurals and possessives

* Word choice and overuse

* Awkward or run-on sentences

* Consistency of detail

I’ll also be checking the flow of the text, consistency, and plot/character issues that may be unclear or need further development. I focus on the tone and how the text fits together, reworking awkward sentences and making them more natural, and tightening lengthy monologues and descriptions, all to improve your book’s readability.

Any technical issues will be handled with track changes. Others will be handled by comments and suggestions, so you’re always in charge of your text.

Proofreading: $0.0045/word

This is the last line of defense to catch any lingering issues, from typos to wrong tenses, weird formatting, repetitions, and anything else that may not be right.

Errors at this point should be minimal, but please note that I don’t just check grammar—if I feel like something can be improved, I will comment on it and leave it to your consideration.
