Looking for a freelance editor, content writer, or ghost writer? I offer editing and proofreading services, as well as freelance writing services.
Choose between three editing packages (see below). Writing services are priced by the project. Contact me for a custom price.
PACKAGE 1: SIMPLE PROOFREADING
TURN AROUND TIME: 1-2 weeks
COST: $0.005 per word + PayPal fees due at the time scheduled. ($0.005 x 50,000 words = $250).
WHAT TO EXPECT: Proofreading involves checking for grammar, spelling, punctuation, repetitive wording, awkward phrases.
Please understand that this is meant to come after content editing has occurred. No content or development notes will be given, nor critiques or notes to improve narration, pacing, characterization, or plot.
PACKAGE 2: BASIC CONTENT EDITING
TURN AROUND TIME: 1-3 weeks
COST: $0.006 per word + PayPal fees due at the time scheduled. ($0.006 x 50,000 words = $300).
WHAT TO EXPECT: Checking for spelling, grammar, punctuation, repetitive wording, pacing, characterization, continuity, weaknesses in plot or narration, prompts and/or notes where expansion/reduction may be needed, cutting redundancies, critique notes, eliminating confusing tense or POV changes/head-hopping.
It’s recommended to still have a proofreader take a look after content edits are done. Revision mistakes often sneak in during the author’s side of the editing process.
PACKAGE 3: CONTENT EDITING + PROOFREADING
TURN AROUND TIME: 3-6 weeks
COST: $0.008 per word + PayPal fees due at the time scheduled. ($0.008 x 50,000 words = $400).
WHAT TO EXPECT: Checking for spelling, grammar, punctuation, repetitive wording, pacing, characterization, continuity, weaknesses in plot or narration, prompts and/or notes where expansion/reduction may be needed, cutting redundancies, critique notes, eliminating confusing tense or POV changes/head-hopping.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Edits will be made according to The Chicago Manual of Style and will favor U.S. English spelling. The work will be done with Microsoft Word, utilizing the Track Changes, highlighting, and commenting features. If you are using a different program or processing system, please ensure that these changes can be read and sent between software/devices to avoid a fee for not using Track Changes on additional rounds of edits. If you have preferences other than these listed here, please inform me ahead of the start of work on your project.
Because I offer a rate based on word count rather than hours put in, there are sometimes variables that increase the work load enough to call for an additional service fee. Likewise, it’s difficult to refund a service rather than a product, so there are limitations in my refund policy to protect the time spent on edits. No refunds will be given on proofreading services. If, for some reason, a content edit has to be cancelled due to a discrepancy with my style or unexpected incidents in life, a 10% partial refund of the editing cost may be refunded for edits that were more than 45,000 words when they began. No partial refund will be given for short stories or novellas.
