Elevate Your Story: Editing for Indie Authors
You’ve done the hard part—you’ve finished the draft. But before you hit “Publish” on Amazon KDP, you need to ensure your story is as sharp, clean, and unputdownable as possible.
As a fellow indie author, I understand the delicate balance of maintaining your unique voice while meeting the high expectations of thriller and memoir readers. I’m here to help you bridge that gap.
1. The Manuscript Blueprint Critique
Best for: Early-stage drafts or authors who feel “stuck” on the structure.
Is your pacing dragging in the middle? Is your villain truly terrifying? This high-level structural review focuses on the foundation of your story. I’ll dive deep into your plot holes, character arcs, and world-building to ensure your narrative foundation is rock-solid.
- What you get: A 5–10 page detailed Editorial Letter.
- Investment: $350.00 (Up to 50k words)
2. The First 3 Chapters Kickstart
Best for: Polishing your Amazon “Look Inside” sample or hooking an agent.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. This service is a deep-dive line edit of your first 10,000 words. We’ll tighten your prose, sharpen your hook, and ensure your opening chapters are impossible to turn away from.
- What you get: Direct line edits (Tracked Changes) and a “Hook Analysis” report.
- Investment: $150.00
3. Full Manuscript Editing (Line Editing & Proofreading)
Best for: Authors ready for a final, industry-standard polish.
Ready to go from “Draft” to “Masterpiece”? I offer two levels of word-count-based editing to get you there:
- Line Editing ($0.02/word): A focus on the flow, tension, and musicality of your prose.
- Proofreading ($0.01/word): The final safety check for typos, grammar, and punctuation.
How to Book: Because I only take on a limited number of full-length manuscripts per month, a deposit is required to secure your window.
- Booking Deposit: $50.00 (Credited toward your final total)
