What to expect

• Developmental edits may involve multiple rounds of editing. In addition to marking up the actual manuscript (Microsoft Word track changes feature), I create an editorial letter that addresses each aspect of your writing/story:  plot, character development, pacing, world-building, elements of writing, point(s) of view, dialogue, simple fact-checking, and any miscellaneous issues.  Then, you would make the necessary revisions and send it back to me for review.
• Up to two rounds of developmental editing are included in the quoted price (for an accurate estimate, I would need to see at least a few chapters of your manuscript, if not all of it).
• For multiple or package services, a 15% discount is applied to the lesser of the service.
• A 10% discount is extended to returning clients for serial novels. I understand that for most self-publishing writers, this is not their day job.
• I offer free sample edits, limit of approximately 1000 words. Keep in mind, though, that the edit would lean more toward a copy edit, not developmental. It is impossible to accurately developmental edit 1000 words.
• The copy edit (should you choose in addition to a developmental edit) would begin after at least a one-month rest period so that my eyes can “refresh” themselves.
