Our in-house editor offers editing services for works of fiction and creative non-fiction.
If this is your first time working with us, we will go over the first ten pages free of charge, then get back to you with notes and schedule a brief phone interview to discuss your work. For poetry chapbooks, please send the first five pages.
Line/Content Editing – $8 per page
Get your manuscript ready for publication. Our editor will go over your novel or memoir with a fine-tooth comb to catch inconsistent character behavior or speech, and style or readability issues. Katharine will check the grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage of your manuscript, and also assist with rewriting/rewording sections that may need help to ensure that the story stays true to itself.
Proofreading – $5 per page
If you require proofreading services, Katharine will check over your manuscript to catch any grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors while improving the clarity and flow to get the manuscript ready for publication. Depending on her schedule, it normally takes 3-4 months for our editor to go over a full manuscript.
Please attach your full manuscript as a Microsoft Word document in Times New Roman 12-pt. font with 1-inch margins, double-spaced.

She began editing professionally for L.A. Writer's Lab in 2012. Since then, she has edited numerous manuscripts and worked with several best-selling authors.
“When my publisher sent me the proofed galleys of my latest novel, I was floored by what a great job the copy editor had done. They were some of the best edits of my writing career. I cannot recommend Katharine highly enough.”
