Developmental Editing

Need help with structure and content? Developmental editing focuses on big-picture feedback about organization, flow, and clarity, making sure your book makes sense, keeps readers engaged, and delivers your message effectively. You’ll get detailed in-line feedback and a full editorial letter to help you make revisions with confidence. Perfect for books that need a little (or a lot) of restructuring before moving on to copyediting.

$0.04–$0.15 per word (varies by complexity)

Line Editing

Line editing helps your writing flow naturally, making sure your sentences are clear, engaging, and easy to read. I’ll fine-tune your phrasing, smooth out clunky sections, and strengthen transitions, so your ideas connect effortlessly.

I’ll make sure your tone is confident and approachable, so your message is clear and compelling. This is perfect if your manuscript is in good shape but needs better flow, sharper wording, and a final polish to make it truly stand out.

$0.04–$0.08 per word

Copyediting

This is where things really come together! I’ll correct grammar, punctuation, and awkward phrasing, while also making sure everything reads smoothly and consistently. I’ll follow your preferred style guide (CMOS, AP, or another) so your book looks and feels professional. Think of this as a deep clean for your writing before it’s ready for the final proofread.

$0.03–$0.05 per word

Back Cover Blurb: Your back cover is prime real estate—let’s make it count! I’ll write a short, attention-grabbing blurb that instantly hooks readers and makes them want to dive into your book.
