FAQ

I have answered commonly asked questions below, but I know that you may have additional questions. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

How long does editing and proofreading take?

As you know, each person’s writing is different, and therefore, each manuscript takes a different amount of time. It all depends on the quality of the work coming in, the author’s writing style, the genre, and of course, the length.

And no, proofreading is not always faster or easier than editing, even though many people believe it should be.

Will you sign an NDA?

Of course! This is your work, and I want you to feel comfortable sharing it with me.

What type of documents do you edit?

I typically edit in Word and Google Docs. If you have a different preference, I am happy to discuss it with you. However, I do recommend Word as many publishers will prefer you submit in Word.

Do you have experience with specific genres?

Currently, I have edited or proofread books in many genres, including nonfiction, sci-fi, fantasy, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, dystopian, RPG, horror, crime, mystery, satire, erotica, and metafiction. I also work with a lot of authors who write works within a series, ensuring consistency from one work to the next.

What happens if you or I need to cancel?

We will have a contract that protects both you and me.

If I choose to work with you, should I expect to hear from you during editing?

I like to keep you informed, so you will hear from me every couple of days.

What services do you offer, and how much do you charge?

You can find more information regarding services and costs by visiting my Services page.

If you are writing multiple works, I provide a discounted rate for anyone who continues to work with me. You can let me know right away if you are interested in this, and we can discuss it at any point.

How do payments work?

I will send you an invoice via Wave. If you are unable to make a payment through Wave, we can discuss alternatives.

Do I even need an editor?

I hear people say all the time, “Save your money; don’t get an editor,” but some of the authors I have worked with are also editors. There is a reason I edit other editors’ works; they understand the importance of an extra set of eyes.

You spent a lot of time with your work already, so why not have someone else polish it? You want it to be the best it can be.
