FAQ
Is Kindle or print formatting included?
Formatting is available through my separate formatting gig. Please message me if you need both editing and formatting so we can discuss the services and their timing.
Do you edit children's books or rhyming stories?
Yes. Please use my separate children's book editing gig for those projects. Message me if you're unsure which service fits your manuscript.

Rates are $10 per 1,000 words for Copyediting, $20 for Line Editing and $40 for Heavy Line Editing. For example, a 50,000-word manuscript would cost $500, $1,000 or $2,000. I'll confirm the editing level and total price before you order.
