Clean Romances discussion

I'm an editor/writing coach/proofreader. I've done some professional work, but mostly I love to help authors. I got started helping roommates and floormates at college turn their low-graded papers into A papers. Talk about a rush . . . ;o) I've had great opportunities to work with some authors in the last few months, and I'm eager for more. Right now, this is a hobby-type thing for me. I don't need to support my family; I'm keeping my skills sharp and loving working with words again.

I have something of a forte with regency romance (I've read a lot of Heyer, and others) {grin}, but I've edited all kinds of (clean/non-horror) things.

Here's how I'm currently working:

First read-through is free. You provide a copy of the book, and I'll get back to you with quoted lines and notes in a reasonable period of time, (usually about a week, depending on the length of the book), and am happy to discuss and work through problem spots, etc. Any work after that can be negotiated; and I'm just working for hobby money right now, so I'm pretty darn affordable, even for self-pub indie authors.

I blog about writing at www.PoetsInProse.com, and you can contact me at Annalea@PoetsInProse.com

I'll add a link with feedback from authors with which I've worked soon.

I do storyline editing and my husband does copyediting. We have reasonable prices. Email me for details.

Storyline editing: Point out plot holes, inconsistencies, info dumps that may bore the reader, timeline problems, point out any confusing areas, character development, etc.

Copyediting: Copyediting is done last. The copyediting we provide is a two-pass copyedit. After the first pass is done, you make the changes according to what you want to change and then a second pass is made to fix anything that was "broken" during fixes or anything that was missed in the first pass. This includes grammar, commas, spelling, typos, two or three spaces where there should be one, etc.

References available. I am familiar with a broad range of genres.

Thanks,

I have been a contract editor with two small presses and have operated a freelance editing service for 5+ years. My business, Lustre Editing, offers three types of edits--proofread, copy and content--and plot evaluation with no editing. See www.lustreediting.com for examples of edit types and fees.

I've decided to do some editing on the side, both structural and copy editing. I've been part of various writers' groups off and on since 2004, and have traded critiques with a number of writers. I like it and would like to do more of it. :) More information about the services I provide and fees I charge can be found here: Editing Services. I can be contacted through the form on the site.

The first five customers get a free edit on their first project.

Thank you.

Hi there! I offer a full editing service, giving you feedback on all aspects of your novel or non-fiction book. I charge $25 an hour (it generally takes about 10 hours to do 50,000 words) and require a $25 deposit before I commence. Payment is through paypal.

For more information email me: lynnestringerauthor@gmail.com or visit my website: www.lynnestringer.com

I do proofreading, which includes spelling/grammar/formatting correction and commenting on any errors or problems that I see in the text. I typically charge $1 per page, but have a $20/hour minimum for text with a very high error rate (I haven't had to trigger that one yet). Message me through GR if interested.

I'm offering a 50% discount on all my editing services through January. With the discount, the prices start at only $12.50 for a flash fiction story. Learn more about my editing at www.patricialabarbera.com/editing.html.

Just wanted to update my details here. I now charge by the word, as it's easier. I charged one cent per word for a full edit and half a cent per word for a proofread. Vist: www.lynnestringer.com/editing for more.

Hello, and thanks, Jaimey, for opening this thread. I've been freelance copyediting for 5 years, mostly fiction, but some non-fiction as well. I recently completed a certificate in editing from UC Berkeley Extension and have a BA in history and Master's coursework in English Literature. I charge between $1 and $1.75 per page, depending on the level of edits the author would like. Further details are here: www.rickrackbooks.com
Happy writing!
