Editing

You’re an author; I’m an editor…

How can I help?


Whether you’ve finished writing your book and are needing someone to take a look at it to make it the best it can be

Or you’re someone with an idea/concept for a story or series & you want to work with someone to make your vision come to life


Welcome! Whatever your book needs, we can make it happen 😊


I provide editing for authors looking to publish their book next and/or those needing an external pair of eyes to assess their manuscript. With 15+ years’ experience in this field and the trust of many beloved & cherished clients, allow me to make your book shine as best it can.

In recent years, I have also worked as a book coach, which has led me to now offering book outlining services to clients with a vision/story idea yet who feel tentative about throwing themselves into the deep end of the writing pool without a safety buoy to guide them as they hone their scribe skills.

Editing Rates

 

In a nutshell

Full Edits: $3 per 250 words (0.012c per word)

Line/Copy Edits: $2 per 250 words (0.008c per word)

Proofreading: $1 per 250 words (0.004c per word)

Developmental Edits only: $1.50 per 250 words (0.006c per word)

Book Outline: $50-100 ($1 per estimated 1,000 words for final book)

 

What does each entail?

 Full Edits = Developmental + Lines + Proofreading

                    aka 3 rounds of edits from me to client

Line/Copy Edits = As the name suggests, line by line editing on the document

                              aka 2 rounds of edits from me to client

Proofreading = Final check on a clean/edited-already document

                         aka 1 round of edits from me to client

Developmental Edits = a look at the story in general, not Line by Line

                         aka 1 round of edits (an assessment on the work) from me to client

(there's a series of images - originally/still on my Instagram @ZeeMonodee - below outlining what each type of editing means/covers/addresses)

Book Outline = detailed character sheets with GMC (Goal, Motivation, Conflict) for each main protagonist + Story Summary (following the 3-Arc Story Structure) + Chapter-by-Chapter breakdown of story with detailed plot points & relevant story+characterization details

Genres I work with

Fiction: Contemporary Romance (ALL heat levels – sweet to erotica), Mafia Romance, Women’s Fiction, Chick-lit, Fantasy/Romantasy, Mystery, Thrillers (esp. espionage, domestic, psychological), YA, Superheroes, Sci-fi, Historicals (Regency period mostly), Erotica

Non-Fiction (esp. Memoirs, Productivity-related, health & wellness, spirituality)


Genres I don’t usually handle

(Especially for Developmental Edits)

Monster Romance

Alien Romance

Dark Romance (non-consent, etc.)

Gangland

Noir

(Reason why = I don’t read much in those genres so I’m not the best editor to handle your plot & pacing and such in these. Lines & Proofreading are fine, though, as these are the technical of the words & language and not about any Developmental aspect)
