Writing Solutions For You

In today's world, you must have perfect grasp of the language with which you are expressing yourself.

From the Undergrad Paper, to a business proposal, to your first (or second or third) book, you need the wording to flow, the spelling to be correct, and the grammar to be concise.

I can do all of those things for you!

See below to see what services I offer, plus the basic pay rates.  Keep in mind, for these types of projects, we will be working under contract. Also, please keep in mind that each project is unique, and as such may incur different rates.
 
************************************************

Basic Editing

For basic editing, I will not make any unmarked changes to your project. I will simply go over your project with a "red pen." I will mark errors and make suggestions. However, I will change nothing. Dependent on the size of the project, you and I may pass the project back and forth several times until we are both happy with the end result. You can expect to have to be in constant contact with me until the project is finished.

For each project, you and I will sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. This is a legal document, assuring you that your research and creativity are protected!

Basic rate:
Brochures, Newsletters, other one or two page projects: $30
Booklets, Essays, Short Term Papers (no more than ten pages): $70
Thesis, Dissertations, non-fiction works: $100
Books, e-Books, Manuscripts, etc (up to 200 pages): $200
Any project over 200 pages: $250-$350
 
************************************************

Full Editing

As your editor, I begin by completing a basic edit of  your work. I will do everything listed above. However, after you have made your own corrections, I will do a second edit. From that point on, I will make corrections as necessary so you will not have to. Every correction I make will be documented, so you can go back to make sure the work stays true to you, the author. As your editor, I will also make suggestions to you that will help with the flow of the topic, characters, or story. Those suggestions are for you to decide upon and will not affect other aspects of my editing. You can expect to have to be in constant contact with me until the project is completed.  A full edit will take into account grammar, spelling, sentence structure, plot flow, research of facts, headnotes, footnotes, stylizing, and graphics (if any).

For each project, you and I will sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. This is a legal document, assuring you that your research and creativity are protected!

Basic rate:
Brochures, Newsletters, other one or two page projects: $75
Booklets, Essays, Short Term Papers (no more than ten pages): $100
Thesis, Dissertations, non-fiction works: $200
Books, e-Books, Manuscripts, etc (up to 200 pages): $300
Any project over 200 pages: $350-$600

Ghostwriting (Fiction only)

Ghostwriting is a partnering of your ideas and dreams plus my writing ability and creativity. Ghostwriting depends on building a trust between the creator of the piece (you) and the writer of the piece (me).

Every project that I take on as a ghostwriter must start with a sample piece. You give me a random topic- not the actual subject you wish to see written. You also give me the basic details you wish to see in the sample project, how long you wish it to be, and a basic timeline. Once the sample project is completed, you decide if I am the correct fit to write your story.

The rates for ghostwriting are notably higher than proofreading and editing for three main reasons.
1) I am writing your story for you. That is valuable second person creativity at work!
2) I am proofreading the project as I go.
3) The finished product will be proofread and edited, and you will have walked through the entire project with me. All that will be left will be your marketing and publishing of the project, which I do not help with.

For each project, you and I will sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. This is a legal document, assuring you that your research and creativity are protected!

Sample piece rates:
4000-6000 words: $0.02 per word plus $25.00 service fee

Book/E-book rates:
1-40000 words: $0.05 per word plus $100.00 service fee
40001-80000 words: $0.15 per word plus $150.00 service fee
80001+ words: $0.30 per word plus $200.00 service fee
