I offer Crossroads Editing Service. Although I will edit Word files upon request, I prefer to edit hard copies of manuscripts.
That way I can jot down thoughts and make corrections as they occur to me and it adds a special personal touch to my service. This is how editors at publishing houses used to do it and I find that it’s much less intimidating for authors to look over edits in their favorite chair than to scroll through pages of comments on a computer screen.
Many editors charge separate fees for content editing and line editing. With me, you’ll get both for one low price. Clients will receive a lengthy editorial letter offering my overall thoughts on content, structure, characterization, pacing, dialogue, setting, and other elements of the story. In addition, I will also do some line editing, make notes of areas that could benefit from further clarification, and point out grammar and spelling mistakes on the actual manuscript pages. Be prepared to see a lot of handwriting all over your manuscript! When I say line editing, I don’t mean rewriting your book. However, you will see sentences tightened, repetitive words and cliches circled, suggestions for stronger verbs, and comments in the margins.
My specialties are adult mystery and suspense novels, romance, chick lit, contemporary fiction, and young adult.
Repeat clients receive 10 percent off the first edit of each new manuscript, both hard copy and Word files. I also offer a referral bonus. Clients who use my hard copy service receive a discount on rereads of revised manuscripts.
