Bouquet

For authors ready to nurture their story from root to petal with multi-stage editorial care, featuring a developmental edit, line edit, and copy edit.

A developmental edit looks at the big picture, focusing on elements such as: structure, plot, pacing, themes, and character development, and is designed to help enhance your manuscript before stylistic and copy edits take place. In-document feedback is provided via comments, along with an editorial letter accompanying the manuscript. This is typically the first edit done by authors. Authors selecting this package should expect to have sufficient time for revisions and line edits before the publication date.

• This package is not for authors with less than 3 months until publication.

• This package includes two (2) revisions: line edit + copy edit.

• Minimum of 4 to 6-week turnaround time for developmental stage only. Please reach out to discuss additional turnaround time for remaining revisions.

• Workshopping help via email or messenger and one 1-hour Google Meet session (if needed). I’ll help you on those trickier edits and cheerlead you through the process!

Blossom

Your manuscript is blossoming, and now you're ready to enhance your prose and tighten your flow with line edits and copy edits.

Line edits (or style edits) help elevate your story! I’ll do a line-by-line edit, focusing on style, flow, and readability. I’ll offer suggestions to enhance your work. These might include word choice swaps, restructuring of passages, and pointing out repetitive language. All is done while maintaining your unique voice. There is little to no focus on grammar or spelling during this phase. This type of editing is typically before a copy edit. 

• This package includes one (1) revision and copy edit.

• Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time but could be more, depending on word count. This timeframe does not include turnaround time for follow-up copy edit. Copy edit date must be determined at the of line edit scheduling. Please have ample time available for this service.

• Workshopping help via email or messenger and one 1-hour Google Meet session (if needed). I’ll help you on those trickier edits and cheerlead you through the process!

Copy editing focuses on grammar, spelling, punctuation and clarity in an already edited manuscript. Creative license is considered because sometimes those commas are an artistic choice. This is a buffing before your final proofread! 

• This package includes one (1) revision and final proofread.

• Minimum of 2-3 week turnaround time but could be more, depending on word count. This timeframe does not include turnaround time for follow-up proofread. Proofread date must be determined at the time of copy edit scheduling. Please have ample time available for this service.
