What I
Offer

Developmental Edit

$50/10,000 words

I will hold your hand through the entire manuscript editing process. I will give feedback on plot, character, setting, and more. My developmental edits include in-line comments as well as a final, comprehensive letter. I am happy to talk one-on-one about my comments and suggestions.

Line Editing

$35/10,000

I will read your manuscript and leave in-line comments on prose. I will correct any spelling, grammar, and formatting issues, along with making style suggestions, such as highlighting confusing or repetitive sentence structures or ineffective metaphors.

Beta Reading

$30/10,000 words

I will read your manuscript and give reader reactions via in-line comments and a final letter detailing my overall thoughts. I will note what I like, what confuses me, and where the story risks losing my interest.

Proofreading

$25/10,000 words

I will do a full review of your manuscript to correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and other style issues. I love working with writers for whom English is a second or third language.

August’s feedback was productive and incredibly thorough, and it challenged me in ways I hadn’t considered before. They offered suggestions for line-level details as well as the big picture, which helped me sharpen my story while honoring my original vision. They also tailored their input to my needs as we went. My work is better now than it was before!
