FAQ
What translation of the Bible do you use when checking Scripture citations?
I verify all Scripture references for accuracy and can format citations to match any translation you specify (KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, etc.). If your manuscript quotes multiple translations, I'll flag each one consistently and ensure citations follow your preferred style throughout.
Will you correct my theology or change my message?
Never. I edit language, not doctrine. I correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and clarit, but I will never alter your theological position or prophetic voice. If I notice an internal inconsistency (for example, a Scripture reference that doesn't quite support a point, or a contradicting statemen
How many words is one "page"?
I calculate pages using the standard manuscript format: roughly 250–300 words per page (double-spaced, 12pt font). So your 10-page Basic package covers about 2,500–3,000 words. Message me your exact word count before ordering and I'll confirm the right package or send you a custom offer.
What style guide do you follow?
My default is The Chicago Manual of Style (the publishing industry standard for Christian books), combined with a custom style sheet I build for your project, capitalization of sacred terms (He/Him vs. he/him), how you handle Scripture formatting, serial commas, and more. If your ministry or publish
Do you edit prayer books, Bible studies, and sermon collections too?
Yes! I work across the full range of Christian nonfiction: devotionals, prayer books, Bible study guides, sermon manuscripts, Christian living books, children's faith books, and ministry resources. If it edifies, I edit it.
What file formats do you accept?
Microsoft Word (.docx) is ideal, tracked changes let you see every single edit I make. I also accept Google Docs. If your manuscript is in PDF, message me first and we'll find a workable solution.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your manuscript is sacred material, and I treat it that way. I never share, discuss, or reuse any part of your work. Every project stays between us and God. Upon request, I'm happy to work under a signed NDA before you send your file.
Can you handle a devotional series?
Yes, and this is where my style sheet becomes your best friend. For multi-volume devotionals or prayer book series, I'll maintain one master style sheet so Book 3 matches Book 1 perfectly. Order the Premium package for style sheet creation, then message me about series pricing on your next volumes.
Do you format for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark?
My deliverable is a clean, publication-ready manuscript, grammar-perfect and consistently styled. Interior layout and cover design are separate skills, but I can format your text to your formatter's or KDP's specifications so the handoff is seamless. Ask me about KDP-ready text formatting when you m
My devotional is longer than 75 pages, can you handle it?
Certainly. For manuscripts over 75 pages, message me with your total word count and I'll send a custom offer with an exact price and realistic timeline. Larger projects can also be split into milestone orders so you're only ever paying for work you've already received.
