Yes! Even though I am an experienced editor, a professional editor reviewed and edited my manuscript before it became a book. Not only did it make my manuscript more professional and polished, I also learned how to become a better writer through her notes, assessment, and feedback. Proofreading is essential, but copyediting and other forms of thoughtful reviews and assessments can save you time and energy as well as help you draw out a clearer vision of your project.

Proofreading is the final step of editing. This service includes a review of any spelling or punctuation errors. Copy editing focuses on grammar and mechanics. It offers general suggestions on improving style, but does not include deep line editing. A manuscript assessment looks at the manuscript in its entirety and offers constructive feedback in a detailed report.

Each writing project is unique. Contact me if you have any questions or need a proposal tailored to meet your needs.

Good editors need years of experience, training, and learning in order to provide the best service. The cost of editorial services reflects this experience and knowledge. Contact me if you have a specific budget in mind, and we can try to find a package that works for your project.

I require each manuscript to be emailed as a Microsoft Word document. This allows me to return the manuscript to you by email with Track Changes.

When you submit your manuscript by email, please follow these guidelines:

1. Use 12-point, serif font like Times New Roman.

2. Pages should be double-spaced.

3. Leave 1” margins.

4. Left-align your paragraphs.

5. Send the document as a Microsoft Word document only.
