Editing Services

I am a published author and experienced editor of genre fiction, literary fiction, and technical nonfiction. I have an M.S. in Technical Communication and a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington.

Learn about each of the editing services I provide. If nothing here seems quite right, I also offer custom packages. Don’t hesitate to ask!

  • Manuscript assessment focuses on big-picture edits regarding the content and structure of your manuscript. This service includes an extensive edit letter with recommendations, but no in-document comments. This service is available for full or partial manuscripts, as well as for outlines.

    Manuscript assessments start at $0.015 per word.

  • Developmental editing, or content editing, focuses on big-picture edits regarding the content and structure of your entire manuscript. This service includes an extensive edit letter with recommendations, as well as in-document comments to provide more targeted guidance.

    Developmental editing starts at $0.035 per word.

  • Beta reading focuses on providing reader reactions to your manuscript at a big-picture level. It includes a shorter letter than a manuscript assessment or developmental edit, and centers on my experience as a reader, rather than craft or editorial recommendations.

    Sensitivity reading is specialized beta reading in which I use my unique experiences to help you write characters or situations outside of your own experience. Contact me for a full list of the types of sensitivity reading I offer.

    Beta reading starts at $0.008 per word.

  • Do none of these services quite fit what you’re looking for? I also offer hourly consultations and custom services.

    Consultations start at $50 per hour.
