Your book is ready for editing or proofreading, and you want to choose an editor who’s a good fit for you and whose expertise you can trust.
A 1,000-word sample edit lets you see how I work before you commit to a full service. It also enables me to evaluate what level of editorial intervention your book needs. From this, I can estimate the number of editing hours required and determine the cost.
What you’ll get
- A line-by-line, word-by-word edit of your 1,000-word sample, with a focus on the following:
- Spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax

 - Repetitive words or phrases
 - Redundant words that clutter your narrative
 - Phrasing that’s awkward, ambiguous or clichéd
 - Plot, timeline and character-trait consistency
 - Dialogue: style and punctuation
 - Basic point-of-view issues
 - Use of tenses
