Q: How long does the editing process take?
A: As my client, you’re my top priority, and I’ll always work as quickly as I can.
The turnaround time depends on the length of the project, but if you have a particular timeline in mind, let me know. Whenever possible, I’ll gladly meet your needs.
Q: What age groups do you edit?
A: My wheelhouse includes everything from picture books to young adult with an emphasis on middle-grade books. I’m also open to editing fantasy stories for adults if you think I’m the right fit for your story.
Q: Do you edit children’s science fiction?
A: Absolutely! Although fantasy is my specialty, I love a great science-fiction story. In fact, some of the books I’ve written are science fiction. Just be aware that I know more about minotaur sociology than nano-robotics.
Q: Do you offer sensitivity readings to make sure a story is
progressive and inclusive?
A: I do this for free in every edit. If I see any word or story choices that could be construed as insensitive, I’ll include those comments in my feedback. This includes language that may be problematic regarding race, culture, gender, sexuality, mental health issues, body shaming, and more. It’s your choice whether you make those changes, but creating an inclusive story will open it up to a wider audience.
Q: Which payment methods do you accept?
A: The easiest payments are e-transfers, wire transfers, and Paypal, but I'm open to most payment methods if something works best for you.
If you want to pay in installments, that's also perfectly fine.
Q: Why should I choose you over other editors?
A: For over twenty years, I’ve studied the precise details of storytelling—the word choices and sentence arrangements and story structures that enhance fiction writing. As a result, I can easily articulate how to adjust your prose and story elements to accomplish your goals. Also, because I’m a writer, I’m great at brainstorming new ideas, and I can offer suggestions on how to solve each issue.
