Frequently Asked Questions

What genres do you accept?

I love working with all genres and age ranges! I’ve worked on everything from picture books to graphic novels to 400-page fantasy epics. I particularly enjoy working on YA and adult romance, fantasy, science fiction, and projects with LGBTQ+ themes.

What style references do you use? 

I use Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Ed. and Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. If you have an alternative style reference that you’d like me to follow, let me know!

Do you offer developmental editing? 

Developmental editing comes before the copy edit and proofread. Developmental editing is a holistic edit of your overarching story, characterization, plot beats, and style. I do not offer developmental editing, but you can find many excellent editors who do through the ACES or EFA directories. 

How much does it cost?

Rates vary depending on the project length, complexity, and service, so please do reach out for a quote specific to your project, particularly if it’s an unusual format. In general, my proofreading rate starts at $0.01 per word and my copy editing rate starts at $0.02 per word.
