Turn your rough draft into a polished manuscript.

No two pieces of writing are alike, but my simple process applies to every project.

My Process:
Love the words, right the writing.

 

1. Discover

Fill out my contact form and tell more about your writing — this will be a primer for our first conversation. I will contact you within 24 hours to schedule a meeting.

2. Sync

Our meeting is when we really get on the same wavelength with your project’s goals and needs. If we think we’re a good fit for each other, I will take what I’ve learned and provide a quote for the best editing path for your work.

3. Edit

Once we’ve agreed on the plan, I get to do what I love and will communicate as needed along the way.

4. Cheers

I will deliver as promised, and we will celebrate because your work is all you dreamed of and ready for your readers.

How It Works

My editing services vary based on your needs. I quote based on multiple factors, because set word or page rates are too restricting for effective work and communication. Each quote is fair, considering freelance industry standard rate ranges.
