My Rates

Developmental Editing & Manuscript Critique

For a developmental edit, I provide you with an in-depth editorial letter, notes within your manuscript.

Manuscript critiques are less-involved—more like a broad overview or gut check of your manuscript before moving on to the next stage.

Developmental Rates are .025/word
Manuscript Critique Rates are .015/word

Minimum $250 per project for shorter pieces.

Line/Copy Editing & Proofreading

I will become the ‘fine tooth’ comb to your manuscript. Deliverables include your manuscript with tracked changes plus a clean copy with changes accepted.

Rates are .04/.03 per word for line/copy editing
Rates are .015/word for proofreading

Minimum $250 per project for shorter pieces.

Story Coaching/Consultation Calls

You ever just need to talk through your manuscript with someone? I’m here for you. We can talk via phone, Zoom, or even in-person if geographically possible.

Consultation calls are $150/hour
Story coaching rates vary based on need and project

Minimum $150 even for shorter calls.

Picture Books & Writing for Children

I have been doing story time for unruly crowds of babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids for over 15 years now. I know picture books.

Rates vary based on need and project
