Academic & Non-Fiction Copy EditingJeremy DeLong
I will provide substantive and accurate editing for academic and nonfiction documents--improving overall clarity, accuracy, organization, and flow--while maintaining your own voice/style. The document will be formatted properly, according to your desired style-guide (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). You will receive a tracked-changes file (with changes at line and paragraph level indicated, and explained), a clean final copy ready for submission, and summary edit memo. Let me help make sure your manuscript is publication ready! Rate = $0.035 per word ($35 per 1,000 words).
FAQs
I copyedit at ~5 pages/hour. A 20,000-word manuscript typically takes 4-5 business days, including editing notes and final checks.
Rush Delivery Availability?
Rush delivery is generally available, at a higher rate.

Developmental Editing = $0.04 per word ($40 per 1,000 words).

All client information and intellectual property will be remain strictly confidential, and will never be shared without your explicit permission.
While I specialize in academic and non-fiction, I also edit/proofread all genres of fiction, literary fiction, creative writing, and game content, as separate services.
My overarching goal is to help you strengthen clarity, flow, and consistency, while preserving your unique style/voice and intent. Clear grammatical and usage errors will be straightforwardly corrected, while more stylistic and tonal changes will be suggested in the comments, for you to accept or reject. You will always remain in control of the final voice for your work.
I can also help you format the content of your manuscript for publication in Word, PDF, EPUB, etc., so you are fully ready to publish!
Basic Plain-Text Rate = $3 per page (1 page = 300 words), up to 200 pages.
*Longer and/or more complex manuscripts (images, tables, etc.) will need a custom quote, based upon a sample.
*My services do not include: Cover design, ISBN assignment, Marketing copies, Distribution setup, etc.
