Editing, Proofing, Critiquing Services
Got a project needing an edit? Looking for someone to edit, proofread or critique? Look no further! I can help you get your short story, essay, or novel ready to publish.
Are you bugged because you're not strong on spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. but have a fabulous imagination, you need the services of someone who can make your story sing to the hearts of your readers. So, don't just leave your precious words hidden in a drawer—let me polish up your work for you!
Each piece gets two thorough readings. One to get the feel of the story and see how it works; whether the characters seem real, their action believable; setting, plotting, etc. The second will be a line by line read to correct the typos, grammar (except where it's character driven), punctuation, paragraph usage, spelling, run on sentences, etc. Light editing means exactly that. Nothing changed in the story except typos, spellings, and glaring grammar errors. Should the story need more than a light edit, suggested changes concerning story structure will be noted within a copy of your manuscript, and you can decide to make them or not as you wish in your own copy.
Extensive editing requires more time. Two or more readings of the work will be done as needed. Typos, grammar, spelling, plus story structure flaws will be corrected. The storyline will NOT be affected. However, if something simply doesn't sound quite right, I'll let you know, and suggest options for changes.
An honest and tactful evaluation is a guarantee. But sometimes a writer simply needs a lot more practice, and it's difficult to relay the verdict that a piece is unsalable as it is. So, if you're overly sensitive and/or you're writing only for your own pleasure, you might not want to spend the money for outside advice.
If you're looking for more than edits; if you're looking for someone to give your in-depth help and advice for a work in progress maybe a mentor is what you need. A mentor can encourage a beginning writer to work to potential, challenge him/her to do better than s/he thinks possible. Mentoring provides a more personal writing relationship from idea to publication. Please, no horror—I like to sleep at night—or hard core erotica. First come, first served. Turn around time varies according to work load. A confirmation of work received will be emailed to you, and at that time an estimation of time needed to complete the edit will be stated.
To submit your work, first pay with either PayPal or 2Checkout, then submit your piece to anita@dreamwinddesignandediting.com.
