EDITING SERVICES
Most people think that there are good writers and bad writers. This is simply untrue. Great writing happens when the writer has a strong message and that message is communicated in a clear, succinct and intentional way. However, there isn’t anyone who can do this without editing. Nobody gets it right on the first try. Great writing, then, is the result of great editing. I provide three types of editing services for fiction and nonfiction manuscripts:
Proofreading: focuses only on correcting grammatical errors, typos, and formatting inconsistencies.
Line editing: focuses on grammar (spelling, capitalization, punctuation, etc.), word choice (spotting clichés and run-on sentences), sentence structure, and writing quality.
Developmental editing: focuses on the big picture: coherence, flow, clarity and relevance of ideas, appropriate tone, and consistency; provides in-depth notes, questions, and suggestions; may involve adding or deleting sections, reorganizing ideas, reworking chapters, and expounding on important concepts.
Pricing: Starts at $30/hour- $75/hour or a negotiated per project fee
*Customized plans are available depending on your needs. Discounts may apply for ongoing editing clients (3+ months)

I offer tutoring to traditional, homebased and homeschooled students in the areas of reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing. Sessions are available in 30 minute and 1-hour increments. All tutoring sessions are completed via Zoom. Below are the three types of tutoring programs offered:

Personalized program: work collaboratively to create and execute a personalized weekly plan to meet specific academic goals.
