FAQs
Copy editing looks at the nuts and bolts of your story, including spelling, grammar, punctuation, tone, style, and sentence structure.
My job as a professional editor is to enhance your writing, while maintaining your unique voice and style. No move is made without your approval.
Fiction is my wheelhouse, and romance in particular, but I'm willing to edit any written word on any page, in any category. I edit the words from my friends' mouths too, much to their chagrin.
I use the Chicago Manual of Style, an industry standard. If a client wants to use alternate guidelines, I'm more than happy to work with that.
Timelines depend on the length and complexity of the novel. This will be discussed and decided in our initial consult, before the project starts.
