How can I help?

Proofreading
A final polish that ensures your copy is error-free and showcases your work at its best.

Editing
Perhaps you want a line edit (stylistic) or a copyedit (technical) – or both!
The editorial process
How much will it cost?
Every project is different. Some manuscripts require minimal intervention; some require heavy editing. This is why I offer a free-sample service – it helps me to accurately gauge your requirements and quote fairly.
My rates are competitive and based on the premise of value. For suggested minimum rates, see the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. However, I do provide indicative pricing (based on fiction editing):
