EDITING: With this package, we trust that your book is basically ready, needing only minimal editing. The Basic Package includes one read through. We will copy-edit and do lite editing as needed, up to 35,000 words or 120 pages or less. I will work with you, 1:1 to create the book of your dreams. If we have concerns regarding the readiness of the manuscript, we will consult with you before we move ahead. See the Options page for more information about content editing.
