WRITING A BOOK IS A CALLING. I’M HERE TO HELP YOU ANSWER IT WITH CONFIDENCE.

I love to read! I love everything about an actual book; the feel of a book in my hands, the smell of books (bookstores and libraries are some of my favorite places!), the cover of a book, which generally draws me in with the artwork, and the satisfaction of turning another page in the story. I also enjoy the convenience of my reading app. These genres draw my attention and can be found by my bedside or on my reading app; cozy mysteries, biographies, Christian living, and inspirational. My tbr list is long and added to frequently and I cannot walk past a brick and mortar bookstore without stopping and making a purchase!

I will treat your book baby with the tender love, care, and respect it deserves. Before we work together and in all transparency, I am a part-time light copy editor and proofreader. I host a weekly Bible study and have a woman-to-woman mentoring program. As such, my calendar tends to fill quickly. I encourage you to reserve your space well in advance. As a part-time editor my response time will be longer than someone who edits full-time. I require a signed agreement and a 50% deposit for any project that is $250.00 or greater. Any project that is less than $250.00 is payable in advance. My fee is $45.00 per hour and is set according to the Christian Editors Association. 

I also offer some ala carte services that include alpha/beta reading and research and fact checking.

AS A LIGHT COPY EDITOR I WILL:

 

  • Identify incorrect spelling, grammar, usage, and punctuation
  • Ensure material is logical and understandable
  • Identify continuity problems
  • Ensure sources are properly cited for all statistics and quotations
  • Flag inaccuracies and inconsistencies.

AS YOUR PROOF READER I WILL IDENTIFY:

 

  • Typographical errors
  • Misseplled/misused words
  • Grammatical problems
  • Punctuation mistakes, including abbreviations and capitalization
  • Inconsistent format
  • Spacing errors
  • Specialized terms, character names (fiction), locations
  • Numerical and alphabetical sequences

Once I have finished with your project

you will recieve:

A DIGITAL COPY OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT

Your digital copy will include tracked changes.

EXPLANATION OF CHANGES

Your cover letter will explain any tracked changes that were made.
