DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING PROJECTS
All developmental editing projects include the following:
+Initial review of manuscript
+Initial meeting (either Zoom or phone, whichever you prefer)
This gives me a chance to listen to you talk about your goals for your project so that I fully understand what you want to accomplish. The Manuscript Assessment & Revision Plan will be tailored to these goals.
+Manuscript Assessment & Revision Plan
After reading your manuscript several times, I will assess and make suggestions for revision. The Manuscript Assessment & Revision Plan will look at big-picture issues like argument, analysis, structure, audience, and style. Unlike a peer review or reader report, it will also propose a detailed revision plan that is sensitive to your timeline so that revision is practical and actionable. I will also provide annotations within the text of your manuscript. I can work with you at a micro-level on revisions once the bigger picture issues are resolved, or you may choose to do this work on your own.
+Final 1-hour meeting to discuss any questions or thoughts you have about the MA&RP
I generally charge $.03 /word for book manuscripts. For all other manuscripts I charge $.05/word for the first 10,000 words and $.03/word thereafter. I will provide you with a quote before the initial Zoom meeting, however, as every project is unique.
DEVELOPMENTAL CONFERENCING PROJECTS
For projects that are just beginning to develop, developmental conferencing may be more helpful! Developmental conferencing gives you a chance to talk over ideas that are not yet fully formed.
All conferencing projects include the following:
+Initial review of working draft (if you have one) or other relevant material
+1-hour meeting (either Zoom or phone, whichever you prefer)
I charge $50 for the initial one-hour conference. I am also available for additional conferencing, if needed.
