What types of manuscripts do you copyedit?

Fiction and nonfiction book manuscripts and short story collections. Business (non-technical), marketing, web content, and other documents. Contact me if you're not sure about your content. Note that if it is less than10,000 words there is a minimum fee of $200.

​

What type of file do I need to submit?

A single Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx). I use Microsoft Word Track Changes so you can see my suggested edits.

​

What is Microsoft Word Track Changes?

Microsoft Word Track Changes keeps track of the changes made to a Word document and redlines them. You can then choose to accept or reject those changes, so you are always in control of the final draft. An easy-to-follow five-minute tutorial video on YouTube will bring you up to speed on its full functionality.

​

How long will it take to copyedit my manuscript?

It depends on the length of your document, but usually between one and three weeks. I can give you a better idea after I see your document. The timeframe also depends on your ability to get comments back in a timely manner.

​

What type of editing do I need?

If you are mostly satisfied with your book manuscript but know it needs a set of professional eyes, a copyediting service will be your best option. If you require structural changes, major content editing, and adjustments in tone, or critique, I suggest developmental editing first. I can provide you a quote after seeing a sample of your document.

​

Can you format my book or document?

My expertise is in copyediting and proofreading, but there are plenty of experienced book formatters  on freelance sites, and I would be happy to recommend one.
