I have edited for Headway Magazine, publishers, dissertation writers, academic writers, autobiographers, novelists, poets, and non-fiction book authors. Please take a look at my services offered below!
I can provide editing of several kinds and become involved in your project to various degrees:
- proofreading
- line editing: suggestions for wording, tightening of style and corrections
- developmental editing (macro-editing): suggestions for reorganization, a change in style to communicate with intended audience, additions and deletions (after approval of changes by the writer, the next step would be line editing)
- ghost-writing
- consulting services
Editing jobs and consulting services that I have successfully completed for clients in the past include:
- proofreading for a monthly magazine
- rewriting and updating of a book for young adults for a publishing house
- line-editing of dissertations on computer processors, education, counseling psychology, and others; line-editing of books and various academic articles in economics, political science, counseling, and history
- developmental editing (macro-editing) of an academic book on the teaching of guidance counseling
- developmental editing (macro-editing) of biographies and autobiographies, an anthology of biographical essays, several novels, and several non-fiction books
- consulting services in grant writing and evaluation and other projects
Terms:
- We will agree on an hourly rate of compensation. I will log time spent. I can edit online or you may mail me the hard copies.
- I will edit a 10 page sample of your book at no cost and provide an estimate. (For a page with 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, and minimal spacing elements, a good rule of thumb is 250 words for a double spaced page.)
If you like what I have done, you can send me the whole book or project, and I'll invoice you, normally at $3.50/page or less unless I'm offering a significant rearrangement in which case it would be more. If your book is 150 pages, it normally would be $475. I keep track of the hourly rate of $35/hr., so if it takes less time, I'll refund part of your payment.
Another option would be to pay $175 to have me edit just 50 pages.
Fee Structure
Typical fee structure (fees are dependent upon quantity and complexity of editing required):

- 33+ pages: $35/hour (based on log of time spent) or $3.50/page
- Consultation, copy-editing, and ghost writing: TBA
- Method of payment:
- PayPal, cash, check or money order prior to delivery of edited copy
