Stone by Stone
Copy Edit & Proofread
A river moves a mountain stone by stone, as editing services move a manuscript downstream to a successful publication.
The intention of this package is to pair a copy edit and a proofread that focus on internal consistency, accuracy, and the myriad fine points of craft, burnishing your book as you move toward the final steps of your publishing journey. Be confident that by working together, stone by stone, your work of art is ready to launch upon the ocean of publishing opportunities.
Adding monthly coaching sessions offers the value of a collaborating team member to help strengthen your entire project from start to finish and back to the start of the next project.

Shaping the Land
Developmental Edit, Line Edit, Copy Edit & Proofread
Together we’ll depart downstream, shaping your idea from the headwaters of intent to the delta of your final manuscript. In the developmental edit we’ll look at the over-arching big pictures of theme, plot, voice, and character development; hone harmonious sound, structure, and syntax in the line edit; look out for precision and readability in the copy edit; and proofread with a fine net to catch any remaining layout, spelling, or punctuation issues.
This streamlining of your craft will compel readers to ride upon the current of your story from the headwaters to the sea of publishing opportunities.
Want a Quote?
All editorial services are priced on a full project basis. This allows for a mutually beneficial pricing structure for all my author clients. To provide the most efficient and accurate quote, I need to look over your entire manuscript to get a feel for your writing style and the editorial needs of the piece.
Why the whole book and not just the first ten pages?
The story hasn’t really begun in the first chapter. To best serve you and your manuscript, I’d like to read the very beginning, read around in the middle to get the feel of your second act and try-fail cycle, and read the novel’s end. In this way, I’ll be able to tell if your voice and tone reflect the story you set up in the first and second acts.
How your book reads from beginning to end will affect how we assess the scope of a developmental edit, manuscript evaluation, line edit, and even copy edits.
