Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! If you would like a sample of my line or copy editing style, I offer the first 1,000 words of your manuscript free!

    However, if you are looking for a developmental editing sample, I offer the first 10 pages of your manuscript free.

  • Yes, I collect a non-refundable 10% deposit for editing services that will go toward the overall cost of your service. If you are purchasing a bundle, the deposit will be 10% of your first editing service, not the overall total.

  • Yes! I offer payment plans that divide your total into (up to) three (3) payments per editing phase, and your initial deposit goes toward your first payment.

  • Ex: If you were to purchase The Wretched bundle with a 90,000 word count and chose the three (3) payment plan option, you would be on a six (6) month payment plan. Each phase would be broken into three (3) payments with the first payment due upon sending your manuscript, the second payment due halfway through the service, and the final payment due upon the return of your edited manuscript.

    For this example, the payment totals would be broken down as follows:

    Deposit (Due upon signing the contract) – $252.00

    Dev Edit First Payment – $756.00

    Dev Edit Second Payment – $756.00

    Dev Edit Third Payment – $756.00


    Line Edit First Payment – $720.00

    Line Edit Second Payment – $720.00
