What Type of Editing Services Do I Need?

When it comes to editing services, sometimes it’s hard to determine the type of editing you need. I’ll assess a middle excerpt from your manuscript, provide a brief sample edit of up to 750 words, and suggest the level of editing that’s right for you.

A longer sample edit of five additional standard, double-spaced pages is $50.

Not ready for an edit? Consider my Manuscript Critique service, a perfect start for authors who want early feedback on their work before editing begins.
