Question 1

What Services Do You Offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer a variety of services involving writing, editing, and publishing/distribution.    In editing, I provide basic copyediting, line editing, and developmental editing for short stories and manuscripts. Also, I provide deep editorial insights with manuscript and screenplay evaluations.   With publishing/distribution services, I predominantly offer query letter critique and assistance with query packets.  Services offered through company partners include proofreading, ghostwriting, book coaching, book design and others.

Question 2

What Are Your Rates?

Accepted Answer

My rates vary by the project and it is best to obtain my fee schedule directly after you have queried me about a project. Not all projects are the same length in words, will take the same amount of time and energy to complete, or fit the same scope of work.   In your query, be specific about the size, genre, and scope of the project. Projects that require a fast turnaround may cost more than the typical rate. Email me with any questions you may have about my rates.

Question 3

What Genres Do You Work In?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to editorial work, I work in a variety of genres including science fiction, fantasy, young adult, comedy, and horror. I also will work with screenplays (TV pilot scripts, short films, feature films), video games (cutscene scripts, etc.) and transmedia campaigns.   Again, email me with any questions you may have. This is not an exhaustive list of which genres I will work in.

Question 4

What Is Your Turnaround On Projects?

Accepted Answer

Turnaround greatly depends on how much work has been done on the project beforehand, how long the project is in length, and what other tasks must I complete in conjunction with completing your project (reading materials, researching, etc.)   If you request a fast turnaround, expect to pay 7.5% more than my usual rate. I'm happy to make any necessary accommodations for my clients.

Question 5

How Do I Know If I Need An Editor?

Accepted Answer

If you have just finished a novel, short film script, TV pilot script, or feature film script, you may want an editor to look at the earliest stages of the piece to spot errors in plot, issues with mood/tone, and other potential areas of frustration.   You probably don't need an editor for an unfinished piece or a piece that has already been through several rounds of edits.

Question 6

Does My Work Need To Be Finished Before You See It?

Accepted Answer

I cannot work on any project that is not already completed. Please only submit completed manuscripts and screenplays.
