Because every great writer needs a great editor, H. Danielle Crabtree works as a freelance editor for independent authors looking for quality editing in the world of self-publishing.
All rates vary by project and are based on the author’s need and novel length. Services include proofreading, line editing and manuscript analysis.
Proofreading: This is a quick edit, looking for issues in formatting, spacing, type, size, font, etc. It addresses consistency and looks for flaws in the final document. This is not a line edit. The average rate is .001 cents per word ($50 for a 50,000 word document).
Line editing: This is a micro edit, addressing errors in spelling, punctuation, word usage, grammar, and syntax. The average rate is .002 cents per word ($100 for a 50,000-word document), with no more than $150 per novel. This cap applies to line editing only.
Manuscript analysis: This is a macro edit, assessing the big picture of your novel. It should be done before any line editing or proofreading. It includes assessment of the plot, tension, characters, dialogue, and that all plot points are resolved. It’ll show you areas of weakness and strength, as well as provide ideas on how to tackle the problem areas. The average rate is .001 cents per word ($50 for a 50,000 word document).
