Editing services

$30/hr Starting at $25

Content editing includes reviewing manuscripts for consistency, style, voice, and readability. Additionally, I provide notes that include comments about additional aspects of the piece the writer might want to consider. If editing is for a work of fiction, notes also include character development, structure, and theme. If editing is for a screenplay, notes also include character development, plot points, dialogue, and structure. Formatting services are available separately. Line editing includes syntax, punctuation, grammar, etc. I use the AP Stylemanual unless a client has a different preference. When editing for a business, I often develop an in-house style manual with the client to ensure consistency throughout the document. Because it is important for writers and editors to be good fits, I offer to edit three sample pages at no charge. While my rates are well within industry standards, I am sensitive to budgets and am willing to work with clients on a limited budget to stay competitive.

    Nancy was awesome to work with. Her editorial comments and suggestions were spot on and with her help we were able to meet the deadlines of our manuscript to the Publisher. The Publisher is very impressed with the quality of our book and Nancy had a lot to do with that. I intend to use Nancy on our upcoming book.

    Nancy took ownership of the project and went beyond the brief to provide creative inputs and constructive critique of my work. Her feedback was timely, and relevant. If I write another book, she will be the one to edit it.

    Nancy is the best editor on Guru, I discovered after handing her a challenging novel. She edited, proofread, and made comments that were exceptional for their insight, understanding of language, structure and character development. At the same time her attitude was always accommodating and perhaps a bit too humble as she tried to soften some of the harsher, direct, honest observations. She certainly knows her craft, and I recommend her with utmost enthusiasm.
