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)
