NOTE: My editing and proofreading calendar fills up fast, so it is highly recommended to contact me as far in advance as possible to ensure the greatest likelihood of getting a slot.
Please note that due to personal triggers, I will not edit or proofread any novels that contain dubious consent or non-consent sex scenes or any stalker romances. (I'm perfectly fine with rape, sexual assault, and stalking being portrayed in a negative manner, but not when it's supposed to be erotic in nature.)
Proofreading services are $15 per 10k words.
If you wish to book me for only proofreading, please provide me with the name of your editor and a link to either their website or Facebook page. If you have not had your book professionally edited before it comes to me, you will be charged for a single pass copy edit at $20 per 10k words.
Rush Jobs: Jobs booked with less than a week's notice OR jobs that are sent more than two days past your scheduled date will incur a rush fee of an additional $10 per 10k words.
Grammar and Punctuation Standards: I am from the U.S. and proofread based on U.S. English unless you specify U.K./Australian English when you book with me, and I adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
U.S. vs. U.K./Australian English: If you are setting your book in the United States and have American characters, I will point out colloquialisms that are not natural for American English. If I find myself doing this more than a dozen times in the course of a novel, I will be amending your invoice to a copy edit, as doing this means it takes me more time to get through the manuscript and it's no longer a simple proofread. I will communicate this with you prior to adjusting the invoice.
All prices listed are in U.S. dollars.
Please note that although I am thorough, it is impossible to guarantee a completely error-free manuscript.
