Whether your manuscript needs a quick last check or some truly heavy lifting, I'm here to help! I have over a decade of experience in the traditional and indie publishing worlds, working with everything from academic monographs to niche erotica titles.

My particular passions include:

Nonfiction: personal growth/self-help titles, memoir, sexuality education titles, projects with a feminist or social justice focus, and projects representing diverse experiences

Fiction: dystopian/apocalyptic, romance, fantasy, horror, and young adult projects

That said, I'm glad to consider projects across the board!

What do you check for during a copyedit? Mechanical errors! Spelling, grammar, style, and punctuation.

What if I'm looking for feedback on content? Message me! Copyediting doesn't traditionally involve substantive feedback, but I might be able to offer you a package deal with other services.

How do you determine your fee for my project? I ask that all authors send me a short sample of the work that they would like copyedited so that I can look it over and provide an informed quote. If you're comfortable sending the whole piece over, even better! Rates are based on the piece's genre, length, writing style, and current level of cleanliness.

What files will you deliver as part of this service? I provide all of my authors with a copy of their manuscript with changes tracked using Word's Track Changes feature, an identical clean copy with changes accepted, and a style sheet noting any choices made during my copyediting process.

Do you offer free sample edits? Sure thing! For sample edits, I ask that authors send over their full piece. I'll choose a random passage to edit and get it back to you within 3 business days! (I edit 1000 words from manuscripts over 12,000 words, 100–500 words from shorter pieces.)
