What's Next?
I guess by now, you’ve probably gone through editors and beta-readers among others and are heading down the path of Copy Editors. I can help. When you’ve been through your manuscript so many times you’re sick of it, I can help pick up mistakes that slip through the net. Pesky punctuation and slippery spelling that slide through those cracks and try to make it into your published work. I also pick up other issues that arise--a character name that doesn’t exist (or is already dead!), continuity points and many more. The list is endless on what can go astray. I can help you weed these nasty felons out.
I mark all changes in Track Changes and Comments in MS Word and whether you accept those changes is naturally up to you. I’ll make comments or suggestions, rearrange sentences if they don’t quite work and generally be a pain in the rear because I give you more work to do! But the end result is ultimately up to you, the author.
If you’d like a free sample of my work, and to see how we can work together, please email me 500-1000 words of your WIP and I’ll edit it for you at no cost..
I’m quirky and maybe not as professional sounding as some, but I go through manuscripts with a finetooth comb. It may end up looking like Skittles threw up on it when you get it back, but at least you’ll know I’ve been thorough.

Rates
Copy editing starts at .007 cents per word. If it is more involved than a straight copy edit, I will let you know and we'll proceed from there. Rates increase according to the percentage of editing required, but I highly recommend it is professionally edited and beta read before it comes to me. Hot Tree Editing is a reputable company who I would highly recommend for extensive and content edits. They also provide proofreading services which typically come after a copy edit.
