FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

• What is the usual turnaround time on an edit?

While I cannot give you an exact day I will be finished with the edit, I can give you an estimate. I work as quickly as possible, but I want to be thorough; it is important that your work be the best it can be. On average, it takes approximately two weeks for a full edit. The two-week time estimate may fluctuate depending on the needed length and depth of work. Also, the time frame is from when I start working on it, not necessarily from when it is received. I will try to give you an estimated date of completion after you send your manuscript. If you need it by a certain date, please let me know immediately so that we can let you know if we will be able to have it done by then. 

• After the edit, can I contact you if I don’t understand the corrections?

I like to keep in contact with my clients. In fact, many of my clients are repeat clients or word-of-mouth. Therefore, I am more than willing to discuss any questions/concerns you might have. I usually try to explain why a correction should be made and make suggestions for other words or different phrases if it becomes repetitive. I never take away the voice of you, the writer, or make major changes to the work. 

• What types of writing do you accept?

I accept fiction, romance, nonfiction, children’s books, and most other genres. I accept Indie, self-published, and traditionally published works. Please do not hesitate to ask if your book would be a good “fit.”

• What is your current cost for an edit? 

At this time, the rate for one round is $.007 per word. You have the option to do two rounds for $.010 per word.
