editorial services for the creative

Hello, fairies!

I’m Sarah, a writer and editor who loves helping authors reach their creative dreams. Eleven years of writing, four years of editing, and a sprinkle of fairy dust gives me unique insight you won’t find anywhere else. 

You deserve handcrafted work done by a human, and that’s why AI will never touch any aspect of my work. I also don’t use AI for this website or my social media, and that includes my blog.

about me

I’m a beta reader, copy editor, and proofreader with 4 years of professional experience and a love for the editing process. My work involves sifting through countless words to find and correct the smallest of mistakes. What results is clean, handcrafted writing true to your vision.

I want to help you create the book you daydream about, even if you’re on a tight budget, because the world needs your story.

my education

I received my editorial education in 2022 through Edit Republic’s high-level copy editing and proofreading course. I’ve since been a freelance editor for 4 years, having worked on numerous full-length manuscripts as both editor and beta reader.

RATES + Services

Why are my rates this low?

Beta Reading

$1/1,000 words

(starting at $5/5,000 words)

I will read your manuscript line by line and provide detailed feedback in comments within your document. I will also create a detailed report which summarizes your manuscript’s strengths and further details my suggestions. If requested, I can also share any trends in repeat grammatical errors.

Copy Editing

$5/1,000 words

(starting at $25/5,000 words)

I will provide an in-depth edit, where I check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, accuracy, and consistency in both world/character details and writing style. I will also create a personalized style guide which can be passed on to your proofreader.

Proofreading

$2/1,000 words

(starting at $10/5,000 words)

I will provide a surface-level edit, where I check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formatting. This is typically the final edit pass and is done once your manuscript is formatted for publishing.
