Novel Notices Editing:
Services and Rates
My mission with Novel Notices Editing is to provide polished proofreading and copyediting services to authors, enhancing and improving their novels to a higher level. These steps improve legibility and reader enjoyment. Manuscripts can be sent via Google Docs (or a similar collaboration platform, depending on your preference), where I can insert edits or suggestions via in-line comments. Projects require a 50% down payment, with the remaining amount paid upon my completion of the manuscript and necessary edits. Venmo is the preferred method of payment. PayPal and Payoneer are viable alternatives.
If you are looking to acquire both proofreading and copyediting services, this will require separate fees and scheduling, although you may include your interest on the same form.
Please read through my editing services below. Once you have determined the best fit for your needs, message me through the Contact page to introduce yourself and your work. A free 1,000-word sample edit is available upon contact. Fiction is my target interest area, with fantasy, romance, science fiction, and any combination of subgenres in the forefront.
