Editing Packages
Please contact me for a custom quote for your manuscript. Each manuscript is unique, and I tailor my costs to the author’s budget, book genre, and manuscript condition. Be prepared to send me the full manuscript for a quote. I read the beginning, skim parts in the middle, and read the ending as I determine the scope of work for the manuscript.
