Services
A developmental editor — noun — some call them “a big picture” editor. An editor who assists authors with the content and structure of their writing, ensuring that it makes sense and is consistent with the audience they want to reach.
Let’s start transforming your writing into something exceptional with personalized service at every step!
I calculate my fees using the Editorial Rate Calculator and Rate Chart on the Editorial Freelance Association (EFA) website. I charge per word for projects.
I am also on Upwork and Fiverr if you have experience collaborating with freelancers there, but please note that my rates on Upwork and Fiverr do not reflect the EFA rates; rather, they reflect the demand, quality, and pricing models of their respective websites, and are significantly lower.
I retain more revenue on my official website, so please, please, please consider reaching out and supporting me here.
