Editing Services

Editing is a collaborative process where authors are provided with feedback and suggestions regarding their manuscript. This should be a positive experience as the editor and writer work together to make the manuscript the best it can be. As the creator of the text, authors have complete control over which changes they would like to incorporate into their text.

Manuscript Assessment

A manuscript assessment is a broad overview of a manuscript’s strength and weakness. These reports comment on narrative components such as character, setting, theme, and plot, but also timeline, dialogue, voice/style, and language (as relevant).

Structural Editing

Structural editing is the most involved form of editing and therefore the most costly. Here, we closely examine the structure of the manuscript as a whole to determine how effectively this story functions as a narrative by examining character, plot, theme, voice, narrative structure, and more.

Copy Editing

Copy editing (sometimes referred to as line-level editing) checks a manuscript for consistency (spelling and characterisation), pacing, plot holes, clarity, timeline, logic, but also sentence structure and grammar.

Costs

The cost of your editing job will depend on the word count, the complexity of the content, the level of editing or proofreading required, and the number of rounds of editing. Not sure which level of editing you require?

No problem. Please contact me so we can discuss together which service would best suit your needs and budget.

If you choose to work with me, I will provide you with a free sample edit (1000 words) which will help me to asses the type and extent of work your manuscript needs and estimate how long it will take. From this sample, we can discuss any requirement and I can provide a quote and timeline for the project.

To begin our discussions, please contact me and state: the editing service you require (if known), your manuscripts genre, the word length, and the date your work needs to be completed.
