Tree House Editing
For every author, this is what I want for them …
- A story your readers can get lost in without getting distracted by grammar mistakes.
- More sales and page reads.
- The joyous feeling of holding your finished book in your hands.
- The knowledge you did everything possible to make your book amazing.
- Improved writing craft using the free resources I share with you.
What’s included in the Author in the Making editing package?
- A free sample edit before you pay the deposit. This ensures you’re happy with my style of editing.
- Line Editing. Think of this as the flow of your prose. I get rid of the awkwardness and smooth it out, all the while keeping your writer’s voice intact.
- Copy Editing. This is where I focus on grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
- Book formatting. When you get it back, it will look like an actual book. You can specify the size you’d like.
- A style sheet highlighting all the decisions made for your book. It helps future editors stay consistent.
- A 20+ page editorial report covering every aspect of your novel.
- Dialogue
- Viewpoint
- Tense
- Overwriting
- Description
- Filter words
- Action Beats
- Sentence length and rhythm
- Repetition
- Tentative language
- Chapter endings
- Etc.
- Free resources tailored to you. These resources will help you improve your writing craft.
- My Line-Copy-Listen approach to editing.
- First, I edit for flow and readability.
- Second, I edit for grammar.
- Third, I edit with my ears by listening to it out loud.
- This approach allows me to be very thorough.
How much is it?
The Editorial Freelancers Association suggests $.04–$.049/wd for line editing. For copyediting, they suggest $.02–$.029/wd.
I do both.
And yet, I only charge $0.015 per word.
Why do I charge less than what the EFA suggests?
Because I can.
That’s the beauty of being the owner of Treehouse Editing. I can provide authors with great editing at an affordable rate. 😁
This is a good fit for you if:
- You write fiction. I work with all genres.
- You’re happy with your novel’s structure.
- You’re looking for an editor to book in 2023.
Next Steps:
To make sure we’d be a good fit to work together, I always do a free sample edit. This ensures you’re happy with my style of editing.
