Please read below on the various types/levels of editing available. Once you have chosen which type of editing that is best for you, please email me, Ricci Fox, for a quote. Pricing will depend on word count and level of edit. Authors/clients will be billed either by word count, hourly rate or project cost. All projects require a 25% deposit based on the estimated cost of project. Prior to commencement of each project, I will create a contract providing details and costs for all parties involved to read and sign.
Let's work together to get your work polished and published!
Stylistic Editing
Edits for clarity, coherence, flow, and suitable word usage. Also includes edits for consistency of mood, tone, style and author's voice. Stylistic editing improves paragraph and sentence construction to ensure content is clear for the reader.
Structural Editing
Ensures logical organization and content. Clarifies plot, characters, and thematic elements. Content may be restructured or reformatted to improve the reader's comprehension of the text.
Content is checked to ensure all third-party permissions are honoured.
Proofreading
Final stage before manuscript is published. Checks for spelling mistakes, consistency of elements (such as references, captions, running heads), and compliance to design and/or style guide. Please note: proofreading a manuscript occurs after editing; it is not a substitute for editing.
Copyediting
A thorough edit that includes: mechanical edits (punctuation, capitalization, spelling, or any other style rules), correlating parts of the manuscript, language edits, content edits, and permissions. In a nutshell, copyeditors check for correctness, accuracy, consistency and completeness.
