Short & Sweet
Querying, submissions…
Sometimes you just need a professional eye on your pages, whether it be a query package, a short story for publication, a contest, or similar.
Let me know what you need – line edits, copy edits, line & copy, or proofreading – and we’ll polish your story till it shines.
Timeline
Dependent on project.
What to expect
We’ll begin by touching base about the answers on your intake form. To best serve you and your story, it’s important I understand where you’re coming from and where you’re heading, both with your manuscript and as a writer.
What you’ll receive depends on what you need, but it’ll likely follow this:
manuscript markup
Your manuscript will arrive with inline comments and suggested revisions, all in Microsoft Word’s handy ‘track changes’.
editorial letter
This expands on inline manuscript revisions and commentary as needed.
style sheet
Customized to your manuscript, this includes everything you’ll need to keep track of the specifics that make your story yours: preferred spellings and abbreviations, unique abbreviations and terminology, and character stats and other details, in addition to guidelines and preferences for grammar and punctuation.
I’m always available to answer questions/field ideas as you’re going through your markup – this is a collaborative effort!
Investment
