Editing services
I have worked for over a decade now with big 5 publishers, independent authors, and querying writers to edit romance, romantasy, and women’s fiction novels.
Please note that pricing and timelines are based on a manuscript of up to 90,000 words in the romance, romantasy, or women’s fiction genres. Timelines are subject to availability. Please enquire for more information or a tailored quotation.

For authors early in their writing process, a developmental edit helps clarify the story, address any big-picture challenges, and ideate collaboratively.
Deliverables: high level edit summary, edit call
Cost: from £450
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
-
Once the story ideas are sound and a draft has been honed by the author, a structural edit helps to address the reader experience within that story. Structure, tone, and development of individual story elements are covered in this kind of edit.
Deliverables: lightly marked up manuscript, editing checklist, structural edit letter, edit call
Cost: from £700
Timeline: 3-4 weeks
-
For a structurally solid story, the next stage is line edits. These highlight opportunities for more immersion, improvements in craft, continuity and accuracy, and more granular structural considerations.
Deliverables: marked up manuscript
Cost: from £600
Timeline: 3-4 weeks
-
Because I only offer copy editing and proofreading services for authors I have worked with on the above stages, I price them together, though they are delivered separately. These include more granular looks at accuracy and continuity, as well as proofreading for grammar, punctuation, etc.
Deliverables: marked up manuscript, style sheet (delivered with copy edit)
Cost: from £750
Timeline: 3-4 weeks

Editing is much easier and more enjoyable when collaborating with someone who knows your story, your vision, and your style, rather than having to explain or defend it at each stage of the process. My full service edits include all the above services, plus three coaching calls that can be used at any stage of the process.
Cost: from £1,950
