Notes:
- As a rule, I don’t edit or beta works that I wouldn’t pick as a reader. I work primarily on fiction, namely: romance (clean and erotic), fantasy (high and low), and mystery novels. Genres I don’t work on: Dystopia, (Post) Apocalyptic, satire, religion, politics, philosophy, and anything that’s got to do with theories about COVID. However, since each book is unique, feel free to fill in the contact form to discuss your project.
- I don’t offer sample edits for developmental editing, proofreading, and beta reading.
- Presently, I don’t accept works less than 10.000 words.
- I don’t accept works that have been translated by an online translator (machine).
- Due to my heavy schedule, I’d suggest contacting me before you finish writing your novel to discuss availability.
- All projects are completed with MS Word, utilizing the Track Changes feature.
- While I strive to provide authors with flawless editing, I don’t claim to be perfect. For that reason, I recommend more than one level of editing in the editing process.
- Payments: All payments are processed through PayPal. Full payment is required before delivering the edited manuscript. There will be no refunds.
- All prices are in US Dollars.
