FAQs
Do you offer a sample edit?
Yes! I ask for around a 1,500-2000 word sample for copy edits, proofreads, or combined edits. For developmental edits I ask for 2-3 chapters.
What is your turnaround time?
This is dependent on the word count, size of the book, and type of editing you are looking for. Example word counts with turnaround would be:
10-50k: 2 weeks
50k-100k: 3 weeks
100k-140k: 3-4 weeks
150k-175k: 4-5 weeks
175k+: 5+ weeks
Turnaround time will double if the Evergreen package is chosen due to revisions being required by the author during the process.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We can discuss and develop a specific plan that works with both parties if needed.
Do you offer rushed jobs?
I can, but it is dependent on my schedule, the editing requested, and the word count of the manuscript. There is a rush fee of 10-30% added on top of the the original service price.
