Elrod Editing is now open for business, offering copy-editing/proofreading, feedback, critiques, and consulting editing. Rates are on my Facebook page.
Consulting editor: For works that are completed, but in need of the kind of in-depth feedback only another writer can offer. It is not developmental editing, but rather a single one-stop, "What's going on with this story!" Think of it as feedback on steroids.
From my perspective as both writer and editor, I can let you know what works and what doesn't, and maybe provide insights you've missed.
While trying to sell my first novel back in the day I collected a lot of rejections, and my main frustration was not knowing WHY. I had beta readers who told me what they liked, but not one peep about what was wrong. What I needed was someone to tell me what the problems were so I could fix them.
This is where Elrod Editing comes in. I'm not a best friend, family member, or a workshop chum wanting to support you, but an industry professional with 28 years of experience who can provide the info you need to get that book up and running!
