Beta Reading

Before any editing takes place—beta reading is done with a raw manuscript. Includes a 1-page report of detailed notes. 

*Please note ahead of time if you would like anything specific looked out for within the manuscript, or any specific questions answered.

*This stage does NOT include any actual editing to the manuscript.

Rate: $0.005/ per word

Structural/Developmental Editing: Organization and Content

A structural edit looks at the big picture of your story. It includes a detailed report of the manuscript focusing on main story categories: plot, point of view, scene vs. summary, characters, setting, as well as beginning and ending. 

*Report will  include questions, comments, and suggestions where necessary. 

Rate: email to inquire.

*If you would like to focus on one particular aspect (or even two or three) please email to inquire.

Copy Editing+

For manuscripts that are developmentally sound, but need a little extra love. Includes the standard copy edit of spelling, punctuation, grammar, and style. Checks for consistency of mechanics and internal consistency of facts. It also focuses on overall voice and tone, clarity, and flow. 

*If required, any timeline inconsistencies or lingering plot holes will be pointed out. 

*Includes suggestions for rewrites to improve readability, clarify expression, and smooth language. Basically, if as a reader, I go “Huh?” I will make note of it. 🙂

Copy Editing

Editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. Checking for consistency with mechanics, and internal consistency of facts. 

Does the best friend’s name have three different spellings? Did the main character’s car switch from black to blue?

Proofreading

At this stage the manuscript should already have been edited professionally (either by myself or another editor) and errors should be minimal. It is an eagle-eye comb-through of the manuscript looking for errors in spelling, punctuation, and word usage. It will focus on tracking down any pesky typos and missing words—is an ‘an’ or a ‘the’ missing? Did ‘they’ somehow become ‘the’?

It’s the icing on top of the editing cake.
