Editing Services

Welcome, Authors!

Are you looking for an affordable editor with quick turn-around? You're in the right place! I have worked as an editor for an independent publishing company before taking over content management and PR for a tech company. I still like to offer my freelance services to authors because I love editing and working with aspiring authors.


Editing Services:
I know editing can be a big investment for authors. That is why I want to make my freelance editing rates affordable, and create a plan that can work for any author! Do you want just a specific type of edit? I am always willing to work out a custom rate to fit specific needs of authors.

All rates are dependent on page length and type of work required. Contact me now for a free estimate.


Developmental Editing 
This is heavy editing that helps correct and build the plot, further develop characters, help with fact-checking, setting development, and suggest other improvements to the manuscript. I will also help with formatting, copyediting, and proofreading. 

Developmental editing will typically involve three edits: An initial intensive chapter-by-chapter edit, a second line edit to check all changes and perfect the manuscript flow, and a third proofreading edit to finalize the manuscript for publication.


Copyediting / Line Edit 
This editing will help with sentence structure and grammar, check for inconsistencies in the formatting, and will include a full proofread. I will go line-by-line to check for the flow of each sentence, suggest changes to structure and word choice, as well as note any inconsistencies throughout the manuscript. I will also check how comprehensive and concise each sentence is, identify habit words and suggest alternatives, and look for other mechanic issues.

Proofreading
This edit is a thorough scan for any grammar or spelling errors in the manuscript. Book formatting for some self-publishing platforms is optional.

Testimonials

Freelance Editor
"Lindsey was great and more importantly effective and precise to work with. During my final edit, she found mistakes that I had apparently become blind towards seeing and pointed out various issues. She polished up the manuscript like a wizard and formatted it perfectly for Kindle and CreateSpace. She was friendly, pleasant and professional to work with.  I appreciate that she took the time to do a great job, and went above and beyond what was asked of her and kept me updated along the way. She really helped me bring my Debut Novel to life, and I am happy our paths crossed."   
-  Jaq. C. Reed, The Ungoverned
