How to prepare for your sample edit

In order to choose the right editor for you, it’s a good idea to get a feeling for their style—as well as for them to get an idea of yours! I offer a free 1000 word edit alongside some general feedback notes and a discussion before and after. That way, we can both be comfortable taking the next step and determine the right editing package for you.

Most people provide the first 1000 words of their manuscript, but that’s not mandatory. You can provide any part you like or feel gives the best overview of your work and style.

I ask that you also provide the title (if there is one) as well as a brief description or blurb of the manuscript. I also ask that you let me know if you have any particular areas or edits you want me to focus on. Do you worry one of your characters is a little two-dimentional? Are you having trouble with a possible plot hole? Is dialouge or action a weak spot for you? Or, do you know you have a bad habit of forgetting what colour hair your side characters have from one scene to the next?

Feel free to request a sample edit of your manuscript and ask any questions you may have!
