Services
Combining precise thoroughness with thoughtful consideration, I provide developmental, copyediting, and proofreading services for the following:
- Nonfiction book manuscripts covering a wide range of topics from psychology and philosophy to art and culture and from self-help and spirituality to health/wellness and new science.
- Corporate documents and marketing content, including technical reports, manuals, proposals, white papers, web content, and e-mail marketing and advertising materials.
Developmental editing is a thorough evaluation of your manuscript in terms of content, organization, cohesion, and overall effectiveness in communicating your ideas and concepts to your readers. This is truly a collaborative process . . .

Rates
Initial Consultation
All projects begin with a consultation to discuss the type and level of work your manuscript, corporate documents, or marketing content requires along with your turnaround time and budget. I will also need to review a sample of the project in order estimate the time commitment and fee. I am happy to consult with you via email or by phone.
Billing
I typically charge an hourly rate and bill on a weekly basis. If we decide that a flat fee makes more sense for your project, I will bill you in two installments: 50 percent due up front with the remaining balance due upon completion of the project.
Payment
Payments can be made electronically via PayPal or by check.
