Fiction, non-fiction, medical
I have begun broadening my editorial services from exclusively friends and family to all American writers across the fruited plain. My work not only includes a word-by-word, line-by-line detailed grammatical/spelling editing, but also notations concerning contextual and continuity questions. I also include overall plot and creative critiques. I work with both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. I have been known to refer especially exciting projects to my own agent.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of a ms. being wholly perfect before submitting to a publisher!
My typical procedure is to discuss your project with you over the phone or by email before accepting the assignment. Although I believe hard-copy editing is both more effective and ergonomically tranquil, I will provide "track changes" electronically if a client prefers.
My fees vary according to your requirements. My clients usually consider them surprisingly reasonable. I will also provide references on request—but let's face it: You're only going to see good ones!
