Line/Copy Edits Package
Congratulations, you’ve written, edited, and are now ready to publish your book. The thing is, selling your book isn’t all about the amazing story you’ve written inside; you need an equally awesome cover to sell it. That’s where I come in. I have spent years in the publishing and design world, and I know what sells. As your designer, I want to help you create a cover you will fall in love with, the first thing your readers see before picking up your book.
What my Design process looks like:
First, you tell me what you are looking for. You may have a color palette you like, or elements from your book you want to include, whatever it is, you can let me know!
Then I will send you some preliminary designs so you can decide a direction you want to go in.
Then all you have to do is sit back and wait for me to deliver your final designs.
Just kidding... There is one more step that involves you. I want to make sure you are happy with your cover, which is why I offer revisions even after you receive the final designs.
I also offer a 30-minute concept call before or after the designs are delivered to discuss possible ideas or changes.
$65 is the standard rate for eBook covers, $90 for Paperback, $100 for Hardcover, and $120 for all three formats. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have before booking my services.
I look forward to working with you on your cover. Together, we will bring your story into the hands of expectant and eager readers!
Line/Copy Edits Package
So you’ve gone through your story and addressed the big-picture issues... wonderful job! Now on to the more nitty-gritty. Sometimes, as writers, we need an extra hand, a person to look at our work and steer us in the right direction. As your editor, my Line/Copy edits will focus specifically on making sure the words in your story elevate your story, not distract from it. As a writer, there are so many times you can read through your manuscript before they become just words on a page. I’m here to keep you from saying, “I can’t believe I missed that” when your book is published. My edits will help your story shine and stand out to readers and agents alike.
What my edits include:
In-line comments throughout your book that you can track and manage during the editing process
A 7-16 page editorial letter addressing sentence structure, readability, repetition, and consistency. The letter will include suggestions and ideas that address the big picture and the comments made within the story. I offer you advice on how to fix things, not just pointing out what you did wrong.
A client-exclusive editing package to help you tackle the grand task of editing with confidence and certainty. This is something that I offer exclusively to my clients, many of whom have found it incredibly helpful when beginning the editing process.
An hour phone call (if desired) once everything’s sent back to you to help with brainstorming, ask questions, clarify, etc. I believe an editor is not just someone who looks over a story once and then sends it off to the author. I am here as a partner, always available even after the project is completed. You can always book a follow-up phone call with me for $30 to discuss any issues you may be running into. Sometimes, all we need is someone else to bounce ideas off of. And, of course, I am always available via email!
$400.00 is the standard rate for any project 85k or bellow, $600 for 90k-100k, $950 101-130k, $1200 for 130-175k. I charge half of the payment upfront and the other half upon completion of the project. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have before booking my services. I also offer sample edits of the first ten pages of your novel, submitted through email, no attachments accepted.
I look forward to working with you on your book. Together, we will bring your story to new heights!
Developmental Package
My sincerest congratulations on completing your book…certainly not an easy task. Sometimes, as writers, we need an extra hand, a person to look at our work and steer us in the right direction. As your editor, my Developmental edits will focus specifically on elevating your book’s concept (making what's great about your book even better and the possibly not-yet-fully developed parts stronger, and on par with the rest of your story). My edits will help your story shine and stand out to readers and agents alike.
What my edits include:
In-line comments throughout your book that you can track and manage during the editing process
A 7-16 page editorial letter addressing plot, characters, world-building, pacing, genre, themes, voice, and story structure. The letter will include suggestions and ideas that address the big picture and the comments made within the story. I offer you advice on how to fix things, not just pointing out what you did wrong.
