FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your rates?

Consulting, coaching and ghostwriting rates vary depending on the book’s length, complexity of the project, production deadline, and what individual services are requested.

Copyediting rates vary, however, this chart from the Editorial Freelancers Association can provide some guidance on what you should expect to budget for your copyediting needs.

Will you read my completed manuscript?

No, but you can book me for a manuscript review. I do, however, offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to evaluate your need for services.

Please do not send your manuscript to me, unsolicited. It will not be read.

Can I just pick your brain?

The complimentary 30-minute consultation is dedicated to evaluating what services may be the best fit. You can book me for a strategy call for anything outside of the scope of the complimentary consultation.

Will you help me get my book published, or connect me with an agent?

No, but you book me for a strategy call for anything outside of the scope of the complimentary consultation.

What service should I choose?

Preparing to submit your manuscript but struggling with your pitch? A query consult will help refine your cover letter and pitch.

Need feedback on a work in progress? A partial manuscript consult provides a broad critique of an unfinished draft.

Stuck on a completed manuscript? A full manuscript consult offers big-picture feedback on your entire book, ideal for early drafts.

Looking for deeper refinement? Developmental editing provides in-depth polishing, similar to what a publishing house would do post-acquisition.

Does your finished manuscript need a first line edit before submission? Inquire about copyediting services.
