Edit smartly.

  • Proofreading

    Get your writing polished to perfection. I’ll review your work for spelling, grammar, punctuation, & consistency errors, ensuring your final draft is clean, professional, and ready to impress.

  • Copyediting

    Take your writing up a notch. I'll refine your prose for clarity, flow, style, and tone while also ensuring your piece is free from grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors before you submit.

  • Pricing

    Pricing varies based on the project. Most are priced per word and have a minimum project fee. Rush fees apply for quicker turnaround. See below more information about my process.

My Process

You’ve completed your short story, essay, or full length manuscript—congratulations! You know that you need another set of eyes on your work before you begin submitting it. I can help with both proofreading and copyediting.

For longer form work (over 15,000 words), I request prospective clients submit a ten-page sample so I can evaluate the scope of the project. This allows me to determine whether we are a good fit and gives me a sense of the amount of time and work I will need to put into your manuscript, which helps me determine the project timeline and cost.

Once I have your payment and complete draft, I will take two passes over it before returning it to you. I use the suggestions feature and comments because all edits are, of course, suggestions and it is up to you, the writer, to determine what your final product looks like.

A thorough edit polishes your project and helps it become the best version it can be, but does not guarantee whether or not it will be accepted for publication.
