Freelance Editorial Services

I offer select freelance editorial services for emerging and established authors. My editorial approach is highly collaborative, with a focus on character and voice.

Manuscript Assessment

Perfect for early drafts, a manuscript assessment consists of an edit letter, usually 5-8 pages long, that looks at all elements of craft: plot, pacing, character and relationship development, voice and style, and where applicable, worldbuilding.

  • Edit letter 5-8 pages long

  • Starting at $0.01 USD per word

Developmental Edit

Like a manuscript assessment, a developmental edit looks at all craft elements and consists of an edit letter to look at the big picture, as well as in-line manuscript comments to address craft at the scene and line level. This is perfect for manuscripts that have been through self-edits or beta reads and are ready for the next level of polish.

  • In-line manuscript comments and edit letter, 5-8 pages long.

  • Starting at $0.02 USD per word

Sensitivity Reading

I’m available for sensitivity reading for trans and disability representation in manuscripts of all genres. Sensitivity reads issue spot for problematic, offensive, or cliched portrayals of trans and/or disabled characters. Crucially, my sensitivity reads place your work in cultural context, and offer a supportive space to ask questions and learn.

  • Sensitivity read report, 3-5 pages
