Line Edits: This edit focuses on your writing at a sentence and paragraph level, checking for run-on sentences, dialogue issues, tense shifts, POV changes, redundancies, etc.  This edit can be extensive  (like the majority of lines on the majority of pages, edits that take an extensive amount of time and effort) and should come before a copyedit.          $0.010 per word of the total word count

Copyedits: This edit fixes punctuation, grammar, repeated words, and consistency throughout the ms and should come after content and line edits.       $0.008 per word of the total word count

Proofreading: Final read-through of your prepared manuscript before it goes to print.      $0.006 per word of the total word count

* I request a 10-page sample of your work before a deal can be set.  Please email me directly at jrtediting@gmail.com *  Thank you.

Payment: I use PayPal (they require a transaction fee that I pass on to the author), Venmo (@jrtediting  this also has a transaction fee that I pass on to the author). For a new client, I require half of the payment up front and the remainder when the manuscript is delivered.

Turn-around time: Turn-around depends on your needs and life in general. I like to have 2 weeks since I sometimes have multiple assignments at a time, but I promise we’ll be able to work out a good return deal.  If you need a manuscript returned within one week of your initial submission, there is an additional expediency fee.

I review each manuscript multiple times before returning the material to my client. I believe in being very thorough with my work.

I look forward to hearing from you and reading your work!
