Services

Editorial Assessment

This is a broad strokes assessment of your work. You will receive an edit letter detailing big picture suggestions for revisions including strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities and direction for improvement. Available for partial or full manuscripts. For picture books, see the picture books category below.

Starts at: $20/1000 words

In-Line Comments

Similar to a beta read, this is a good option for those who are not looking to adjust the structure of their novel or make big-picture changes. In-line comments provide smaller scale feedback on the scene level to address minor content issues. You will receive an annotated manuscript. Available for partial or full manuscripts. For picture books, see the picture books category below.

Starts at: $18/1000 words

Developmental Edit

This is a deep dive into your manuscript that offers big-picture feedback and scene-level guidance. We will focus on plot, structure, character, style, pacing, and writing. This is the most comprehensive edit. You will receive an edit letter that details suggested revisions, what’s working and what needs some work, as well as margin notes with scene-by-scene actions to be taken. For picture books, see the picture books category below.

Starts at: $30/1000 words
Optional add-on: Line edits can be added at a reduced rate

Re-Read Report

This report includes feedback on revisions made after the previous edit, as well as suggestions for next steps. This is for manuscripts that have already had an editorial assessment, in-line comments, or developmental edit with Hannah.

Starts at: $15/1000 words

Line Edit

This edit focuses on the writing itself. Using Track Changes, we will go through your manuscript line-by-line and focus on diction, style, and clarity. You will receive a marked-up manuscript that pays special attention to word choice and sentence flow. For picture books, see the picture books category below.

Copyedit

This edit focuses on minor corrections like spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. Includes notes and suggestions on repetition, unclear wording, and awkward sentences.

Starts at: $22/1000 words

Copyedit+

This edit focuses on minor corrections like spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and consistency. Includes notes and suggestions on repetition, unclear wording, and awkward sentences, just like a copyedit. In addition, you will receive margin notes addressing minor content issues on the scene level. This is not a substitute for a developmental edit but is intended for manuscripts that have been through content revisions already and are looking for something a bit heavier than a copyedit.

Optional add-on: Style sheet - $150

Proofread

This edit is the final stage of revision and includes correcting typos, misused words, and other small errors.

Starts at: $15/1000 words

Picture Books

You will receive an edit letter addressing big-picture topics as well as an annotated manuscript with comments and line edits.
