What I require from you:
Sending your vision for your manuscript via email that includes both character ARCs and a storyline ARC(for your dev edit), when you submit your manuscript for editing. If this book is part of a series, please include future visions as well, for the dev purposes.
For $0.006 per word, you get both:
✔ Line Editing
– Smooths sentence flow
– Fixes awkward phrasing
– Clarifies meaning without killing your voice
✔ Developmental Editing
– Deep feedback on plot, pacing, structure

How it works:
Contact me for exact pricing/availability
Send your manuscript (.docx) to s.b.elliewrites@gmail.com
Your manuscript will be in good hands for up to 4-6 weeks. Please plan accordingly. Manuscripts need a minimum of 3-5 weeks post editing to look over all edits and correct changes, if necessary. If you need an editor sooner than the timeline allows, ask about my rush services, available for projects 100K words or less (at $0.004 per word).
*If your manuscript needs developmental revisions, I’ll return it to you for those adjustments post initial line editing. There is the chance your manuscript needs both developmental revisions and line revisions. I do not guarantee that you will like my feedback, but I will be honest and thorough with all editing feedback provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide sample edits?
Yes! I’m happy to provide a free 10 page sample edit to see if we’re a good fit before you commit!
Do you use AI to edit?
Absolutely not. I review and edit everything manually. Your story deserves the human touch, and I take it seriously.
What types of files do you accept?
I work in Microsoft Word (.doc/.dox). If you want to use Google Docs, just make sure your permissions are set correctly.
Will my manuscript be formatted?
Manuscript formatting is not included in the editing packages, however I do offer formatting as a separate service as need be. When you book my formatting service after having your work edited by me, you’ll receive a 10% discount.
Do you offer rush services?
We don’t currently offer a formal “rush” option for editing projects. If you need your manuscript returned sooner than the standard delivery window of 4-6 weeks upon receipt, please reach out before booking and we can discuss special arrangements. I’ll always do my best to accommodate tight deadlines whenever my schedule allows.
Rush services can be performed for manuscripts up to 100K words.
Rush services are subject to additional fees of $0.004 per word.
Do you edit spicy and dark content?
Yes! I have no triggers, and no amount of spice or darkness bothers me. Whether your story leans soft and sweet or dives into morally gray, taboo, or intense themes, I’m here for it. Just give me a heads-up if your book includes sensitive topics so I can approach it with the nuance it deserves.
Can you write a book blurb for me?
Yes! Add-on services like blurbs, synopses, or back cover copy are available for $25. Just let me know if you’d like to include this with your edit.
Do you offer edits for series or just stand-a-lones?
I do both! If you’re working on a series, I can help ensure consistency across books and character ARCs.
