- I know self-published authors are in a special position, which is why I strive to offer professional editing services at affordable and competitive rates.
- I work on Microsoft Word files only and use the Track Changes feature for editing and the Comments feature for suggestions, questions, or to explain my changes so you'll understand why they're needed. No changes are made to the manuscript without your approval.
- I edit books in both American and British English, and I've also worked with Australian and Canadian authors.
- I use The Chicago Manual of Style—which has been the book publishing industry standard since 1906. For American spellings, I use the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. For British spellings, I use the Cambridge Dictionary.
- I advise authors to consider booking both the editing and proofreading services (Package 3). After the author has approved the changes made during the editing process, the manuscript should be proofread to make sure that there are no typographical errors, nor missing or extra words left.
- My turnaround time is between 7 and 14 days from the day we set for editing to begin. This depends on the length of the book and how much work the book requires.
- Payments are made only through PayPal. Authors will receive a PayPal invoice on the day the edits are completed, before receiving the edits.
- NO deposit required.
- Before editing begins, a signed contract is required.
- Date ranges are flexible as I realize writing a story cannot be forced.
- I edit fiction only—any genre and any heat level.
