Book & Manuscript Line Editing, Copyediting, & Proofreading

Finding a good editor can be daunting —

• You want your readers to have a good experience with your book.

• You want your content to be error-free.

• You want your Amazon reviews to praise your excellent content rather than focus on grammar and spelling mistakes, poor sentence structure, repetition, or inconsistencies in your story line.

• You need someone who can really focus on the details, cohesiveness, and flow of your book.

• You want an editor who’s responsive and focuses on YOUR writing and YOUR needs and keeps YOUR voice…and one who doesn’t disappear immediately after the initial edit.


TESTIMONIALS:

"I am going through your wonderful, careful edits. YOU are exactly who I have been looking for! ... I am so very, very grateful. I feel so fortunate to have had you on this with me! ... I've been singing your praises nonstop." ~Fawn Germer, bestselling Oprah-endorsed author and inspirational leadership speaker

“You know what I love about you? It's like we have this synergy or something. I'll write it, and you know exactly how to improve it and still keep my tone and pace. Not every editor can do that. I also like that you tighten the work rather than lengthen it. I love that.” ~M. Kimbrough

“Her ability with grammar is amazing, especially when working with someone like me who is a storyteller


You've invested a lot of time and energy into your book — it should be treated reverently, and it should SHINE!

One last thing…

This is my career. I keep very busy and can’t accommodate clients who want a bargain or a “rush” edit. I take my work very seriously and don’t believe that a good edit can or should be rushed. If you’re looking for someone to edit 100,000 words in 5 days for a bargain-basement price, I’m not your editor!

But if you're a writer looking for a quality edit, feel free to contact me on Guru, and I'll do my best to get back to you right away.

Thanks much,

Lori

Work Terms

I've worked on Upwork (formerly Elance) for many years, and you can find my profile, reviews, and work history there at http://www.upwork.com/fl/lorid.

You can also check out my website: www.editingbylori.com.

As my schedule is usually quite full, I request at least two weeks to complete an edit of 50K words or more.

My usual fee is $85/hour or .028/word, but everything is negotiable! :)

I communicate quickly through email (creationscolors@gmail.com) and prefer to be paid through Guru's escrow service (but once we've established a working relationship, I'd be happy to invoice you).
