QUESTIONS

Our editing process is designed to be thorough, transparent, and client-focused, ensuring your manuscript receives the best possible care from start to finish. Here’s a detailed look at our step-by-step process:

1. Inquiry Form

The process begins with you filling out our inquiry form. This form collects essential information about your manuscript, such as the genre, word count, and specific editing needs. It helps us understand your project better and prepare for our initial consultation.

2. Consultation

Once we receive your inquiry form, we'll schedule a consultation to discuss your project in detail. This can be done via phone, video call, or email. During this consultation, we will:

- Discuss your goals and expectations

- Review the scope of work and timeline

- Address any questions or concerns you may have.

3. Quote, Contract, and Invoice

After the consultation, we will provide you with a detailed quote and contract outlining the services to be provided and the associated costs. If you agree to proceed, we will send you an invoice for a 50% deposit. This deposit secures your place in our schedule and ensures commitment from both parties.

4. Deposit Payment

The deposit (50% of the total fee) is required before any work begins. Once the deposit is received, we will confirm the start date for your editing project.

5. Editing Process

We will begin the editing process, and you will receive updates throughout (if applicable).

6. Delivery & Payment

Upon completing the editing work, we will deliver the edited manuscript to you for review. Along with the final manuscript, we will send an invoice for the remaining 50% balance.

7. Follow-Up Meeting (If Applicable)

If you have any questions or require further clarification on the edits, we offer a follow-up meeting per our Premium Package. This can be an opportunity to:

- Discuss specific changes and suggestions

- Address any concerns you may have

- Plan for any additional editing or revisions if needed.

8. Proofing New Material (If Applicable)

If you make significant changes to your manuscript based on our edits, we offer a final proofing service for the new material per our Premium Package. This ensures that any new additions or revisions are polished and consistent with the rest of the manuscript.

I edit a wide range of genres, including literary fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller, and young adult. If you want to inquire about a specific genre, please reach out!

Yes, I can provide a sample edit of a small portion of your manuscript (up to 1,000 words) for free! This allows you to see my editing style and decide if it's a good fit for your project. If you are interested in this option, please reach out or fill out an inquiry form.

Great question! I prefer you to submit your manuscript as a Google Doc. This format allows me to use track changes and comments for clear and effective feedback. However, if you prefer to use Microsoft Word, this will also work.

Yes! You can receive edits in half the time for an additional fee.

Yes! The average word count of a novel is 70,000 - 120,000, and my package options are priced for manuscripts up to 100,000 words. If you exceed this limit, you can add words for an additional fee. If your manuscript is under 70,000 words, we can discuss custom pricing. This will be based on cost per word.

Your manuscript is safe with me! I respect your privacy and ensure that all documents and communication are kept confidential, which is why both parties sign a contract prior to payment and editing services. Once your manuscript is published, I will hype it up on social media platforms. Until then, I won't say a peep about it!
