MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUE

$0.015 CAD PER WORD

A manuscript critique is an evaluation of your novel's plot, structure, tone, point(s) of view, worldbuilding, pacing, dialogue, consistency, and character arcs. I will read your story and send you a 5–30 page feedback letter with actionable advice on how to tackle revisions.

​​​

This is helpful if you are on a budget and can apply feedback without in-line comments. It's also popular with querying authors who don't necessarily want a full dev edit.

What you get: An editorial letter.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT

$0.025 CAD PER WORD

A developmental edit is a more in-depth evaluation of your novel's plot, structure, tone, point(s) of view, worldbuilding, pacing, dialogue, consistency, and character arcs.

 

In addition to sending you a 5–30 page feedback letter with actionable advice on how to tackle revisions, I will add detailed comments in the margins via Word's Track Changes feature, which you can use as a guide to apply specific feedback when revising.

What you get: An editorial letter.

RE-READ REPORT

$0.01 CAD PER WORD

If I have done a manuscript critique or a developmental edit with you and you would like me to go over your manuscript again after your revisions, book a re-read report! I will look for any remaining plot holes and point out smaller plot issues so your manuscript is ready for its next steps. Note: This is not a line or a copy edit, as I will still be looking at big-picture issues like plot, character arcs, and consistency.

What you get: An editorial letter.

LINE EDIT

$0.022 CAD PER WORD

A line edit is an examination of your novel at a sentence level. I will keep an eye out for areas like writing in a passive voice, effective use of adverbs and adjectives, telling vs. showing, repetition, unclear phrasing, how emotionally resonant the prose is, errors of continuity, info-dumping, and wordiness. 

​​​

This service is best after applying beta reader comments and developmental editing.

What you get: In-line suggestions with some comments in the margins.
