FAQ

  • Okay but why do I need an editor? I promise that there's no 'hired a freelance editor' checkmark you have to get in order to submit to agents or self publish. However, there are lots of reasons you might want an editor; going into self publishing, wanting to figure out why you're getting rejections, or just wanting to make sure you put your absolute best foot forward before stepping into the query trenches. 
  • Do you edit partial manuscripts? Yes! We've all gotten stuck at that last 30% or so and I'm here to help. I do recommend sending me a synopsis or summary if you've got one. 
  • What kind of books do you edit? I'm most knowledgeable when it comes to Adult and YA science fiction and fantasy. I'm happy to take a look at manuscripts outside that (so long as it's fiction) but I will tell you upfront if I'm not the editor for the job. 

Policies

  • I ask for half the fee upfront and half on completion. For anything less than 200$ or booked less than one month before you need it, I charge the full fee upfront. All payments are taken through PayPal or Venmo.
  • If you book something in advance and don't know how long your manuscript will be by the time you send it to me, I will set the deposit based on a word count estimate and then adjust the final fee accordingly. 
  • If you cancel before the start date, I will fully refund your deposit. After that I do not give refunds, however I am always flexible to rescheduling. 
  • Turnaround time is generally between one to two months depending on length of the manuscript and what you need from me. If you need something speedy, feel free to tell me at the start and I'll see what I can do!
  • All notes are made in your manuscript via tracked changes. Things will be sent and accepted in Microsoft Word/.doc format. If you send me your manuscript as a pdf I will cry like a very small and distraught kitten.
