Scope of Project

Whether you’re preparing a manuscript for submission to an agent or editor, or intend to self-publish, you want your finished product to shine in both content and style. Let Write Girl Editing help your words sparkle while maintaining your own voice!

Copy/Line Edit – Covers pacing, voice, sentence structure, style

  • Spelling, punctuation, and grammar—includes comma usage
  • Word choice
  • Getting the most effect from your power words
  • Choosing strong verbs that don’t need modifiers
  • Tightening sentences
  • Strong openings and endings
  • Timeline
  • Fact checking
  • Includes two passes from me. If you’re looking for two one-pass edits with the ability to make changes in between, it’s doable, so let’s please have a conversation about that before we begin.

Copy/Line Edit (Rough Draft)

$0.007 — $0.01 per word, determined by sample edit. For scheduling purposes, please allow one day per 10,000 words in the project.

Copy/Line Edit (Already Edited)

$1.50 per page.

Proofread — $1.30 per page

Spelling, grammar, and punctuation check only.

Sample Edit — $50

  • 5000-word sample edit to get a feel for whether the author and editor are a good fit.
  • Please send First Chapter along with a sampling from about 2/3 of the way through the book, a total of something around 5000 words. I’ll send you back your edits and the price for a complete edit once the sample edit is complete.
  • Required for debut authors; suggested for an initial project with established authors.
  • Price of sample edit will be deducted from total cost of edit if booked within six months.

I don’t require a down payment. Invoice for completed project will be delivered along with the finished edits and due within 7 days.
I’m available for discussion about your book throughout the editing process at heybrenda@writegirlediting.com, or you can FB Message me at Ruthie Henrick (This is my author pen name. I don’t have a personal online presence, or one for Write Girl Editing).
