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.
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.

​
If you want to make sure that your writing is clear, concise, and pleasurable to read, then you will want line editing. Line editing addresses issues at the sentence and paragraph level.
​​
During a line edit, I will identify words and passages that aren't working as well as they could and find ways to make your words flow and keep your readers engaged.

​
If you have the story-level elements in place and are ready to have the mechanical issues that can pull readers out of your story addressed, you'll want copyediting.
​​
During a copyedit, some of the things I will look for are misspellings, grammar, syntax, and macro concerns like internal consistency.

By combining line editing and copyediting, you'll receive both types of editing at a lower price than if you paid for them separately. It's an efficient way to get the most value without compromising on quality.
