Free 30-minute Editing Consultation

Service Description

How Does Editing Work? Editing begins with the first page of the frontmatter and continues through to the end of the book contents, back matter, and paperback cover. I use Track Changes in MS Word, or will use Comments, strike-through, and highlights in a PDF. A Word document is the better choice for the writer to make changes. A PDF can be exported into a Word doc for the purpose of a full edit. If you don’t have a table of contents, I will create one. Editing also addresses formatting problems. I consult with the writer via telephone or Zoom after the editing is complete. Provide me with the number of pages and number of words, and send me the first twenty pages. I will provide you a quote. I will not be able to tell you how long it will take me to edit your project unless I see your work and know the length/pages of the project. Technical material will take longer than fiction. I do not edit poetry.
