2021 Pricing and Services

"I've had the pleasure of using Brandi Salazar for her editing and proofreading expertise. Not only was she was very thorough and precise, but I felt she went above and beyond other editors I'd worked with previously to explain the changes she suggested--she wasn't just correcting my mistakes, she was teaching and guiding me, helping me "see" my story.” –Amy Stephens, Author

Content/Developmental Editing (Temporarily Unavailable. Please check back!)
.0090 per word

A content editor should be the first person to see your manuscript before any other editing begins. This type of edit is an in-depth examination of your entire manuscript that focuses on character, plot development, and overall style of writing and may involve restructuring sentences when necessary.

A content edit:
  • Ensures consistency in character and plot development
  • Addresses plot hole or gaps
  • Addresses overall writing style
  • Provides honest feedback with target audience and industry standards in mind

Once all revisions have been completed, your manuscript will be ready for copy editing and proofreading!

**Note: Turnaround times vary based on the length of the manuscript and the depth of the edit.

Copy Editing
.0060 per word


A copy editor is usually the last person who touches the text of a manuscript before it goes into production. The goal of a copy edit is to address flaws on a very technical level – to make sure the writing that appears on the page is in accordance with industry standards. Think high-end proofreading. (Typical turnaround time is approx. 10-14 days from date received.)

A copy edit:
  • Corrects spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax
  • Ensures consistency in spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts, and capitalization
  • Flags ambiguous or factually incorrect statements
  • Maintains internal consistency.
Internal consistency means checking that your plot, setting, and character traits don’t have discrepancies. For example if on page 50 you write: John sat in English listening to a lecture, and then on page 52 you write John wished his science teacher would stop talking , it’s a copy editor’s job to point that out.

**NOTE: If major editing issues are found once the editing process is started, discussion of additional fees might be necessary,
