A GOOD BOOK NEEDS A GOOD EDIT:
NOTHING SCREAMS 'AMATEUR'
LOUDER THAN A GLARING SPELLING
MISTAKE OR IMPROPER PUNCTUATION

Editorial Services
It's next to impossible to edit one's own writing (or typing,
for that matter) with an objective eye.
Familiarity breeds errors. As a
twenty-five year writing professional, I offer expert editing and copy-editing
services. I am an internationally
published author of fiction and nonfiction with a BA in Communications from the University of Rhode Island, and
certification from the National Writer's School. I have many years of experience as an editor
for both print and internet magazines and I teach writing at my state's most
prestigious adult learning center.
My editing expertise lies in all areas: spelling, punctuation,
spacing, sentence variety, subject verb agreement, dashes vs. hyphens, bullet
points, jargon, syntax, confusing
phrases or modifiers; chapter headings consistency; presentation of numbers,
quotes, images, links, margins, headings; consistency of capitalization,
abbreviations, font, names, locations, character names, logic or paragraph
sequence; uniformity in presentation style/author’s voice.
It is my sincere goal to try to teach authors where their weak
points are and give suggestions on how to correct them, empowering them with
evolved writing skills; to not only improve their book, but improve their craft
overall.
Three levels of service are available:
Express Proofreading-spelling, typing, punctuation and basic
grammar.
Basic Copyediting-with above, word choice, clarity, phrasing,
grammar and syntax.
Advanced Editing-with above, extensive rewriting and reworking
of text for readability and style. In addition, I provide an in-depth analysis
of the work overall, making suggestions on the plot arc, character development,
and much more.
*A page is defined as standard manuscript size, using
double-spaced lines (cost for single-spaced material is one and a half times
the listed rates).
My CV, including all clients and their works, is available upon request.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE YOUR GOOD BOOK INTO A GREAT BOOK!
