"An editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an editor."

​

Jackie Kennedy

What is editing?

Get assistance with:

  • Copy editing – checking grammar, spelling, inconsistencies, capitalisation and other issues

  • Structural editing – rearranging the structure, suggestions for adding or deleting sections or text (in consultation)

  • After the editing process is complete and you have had the text designed and typeset, you can move on to the proofreading stage – checking that the layout is correct.​

 

To get a quote, please provide the following:

  • What work has been done on the project

  • What kind of editing you require

  • A sample of the work with an idea of the length of the text

  • Suggested budget

  • Deadline.

 

Preferred clients are:

  • experienced and professional writers

  • writers who need a manuscript assessed for rewriting/editing

  • writers of short fiction/screenplays

  • memoirists with a manuscript no longer than 100,000 words

​​​

Find my listing in the Institute of Professional Editors.

​

Rates

I invoice based on a project rate. Total cost will depend on several factors including length of the manuscript, level of technical detail, editing work required, subject, format, and any graphic or tabular material to be edited.

​

Find more information on rates for Australian editors.

​

Payment is expected upfront – 50% on agreement of the quote, and the balance on completion. Once paid, I will send you the final files.
