Beta Reading
Prices begin at $6 per 1000 words
If you want a reader's perspective on your manuscript before committing to deeper editorial work, beta reading is a strong first step.
A beta read focuses on big-picture impressions like pacing, engagement, and clarity. You'll receive a feedback report that highlights strengths, areas of confusion, and opportunities for improvement.
Manuscript Evaluation
Prices begin at $15 per 1000 words
If you want story-level feedback like a developmental edit, but on a broader level and at a lower price point? A manuscript evaluation might be a good choice for you.
A manuscript evaluation focuses on the same story-level issues as a developmental edit, but you will receive feedback in a separate editorial letter instead of in-line comments in your manuscript document.
Developmental Editing
Prices begin at $25 per 1000 words
If you want help with your story as a whole and to know if your manuscript is engaging, you’ll need developmental editing. This level of editing focuses on your story overall and should be done before line or copy editing.
During a developmental edit, I will look at your characters, plot, setting, pacing, and other story-level elements and provide you with specific feedback on what’s working and what needs improvement.
