Proofreading Non-fiction before publication
Proofreading is the stage of publishing a book that comes directly before the book goes to print. After the copy has been edited (with any grammar issues taken care of) and seems ready to go, this is when the proofreading stage begins. It’s my job to meticulously comb through your proof to see if the copy editor has missed anything and to catch any mistakes that may have inadvertently been introduced into the final file, such as:
1. Incorrect numbering of pages
2. Inaccurate indexing
3. Misaligned text
4. Additional or missing spaces between words
Since this is a non-fiction book, there will be fact-checking

2 cents a word.
Line Editing
As your line editor, I will ensure that the sentences in your book (or article) are effective and succinct. I will work line-by-line, to tighten up sentence structure so the language is sharp and clear. I analyze the word choice, character names, and settings to determine overall themes and meanings. I will focus on syntax, tone, and emotion, which contribute to the manuscript. Finally, I will also consider and comment on the overall pacing and logical flow of a piece.

2.5 cents a word
Developmental Editing
As your Developmental Editor, I will focus on resolving “big picture” issues in your manuscripts, including structure, form, plot, and character. Since this type of editing focuses on wider story elements, we won’t address sentence-level errors such as punctuation and grammar typos. I will bear your target audience in mind and assess your work in relation to industry standards and expectations. Once the developmental editing contract is complete, we can move on to line editing for an additional price of 3.5 cents a word. Please contact your editor at:

3.5 cents a word
