Editorial Services

I’ve started up a sideline in story structure editing (also called developmental or conceptual editing). This is the step before line editing and typically deals with big picture issues. I provide an Editorial Report as well as comments within the manuscript itself.


If your first draft is a mess and you don’t have a clue how to fix it, or if you know there’s something wrong with your story, but can’t put your finger on what, I can probably help you.


What makes me qualified? I have over a dozen traditionally published novels to my credit. In addition to revising my own work, I have been a member of a writer’s critique group for over 30 years.

PLEASE NOTE: Rates are in CANADIAN DOLLARS which is usually less than U.S. dollars

I know how tight money can be for writers and artists so I offer some discounts.

STUDENT / FINANCIAL HARDSHIP DISCOUNT RATES

  • 3 chapters (15,000 max): $30
  • Manuscript (under 55,000 words): $75
  • Manuscript (under 110,00 words): $150
  • Other: negotiable

REGULAR RATES:

  • 3 chapters (15K max): $55
  • Manuscript (under 55,000 words): $150
  • Manuscript (under 110,000 words): $300
  • Other: negotiable

If you choose the three chapters option, then later want the full manuscript edited, then the first price will be deducted from the second.
