  • Happy Holidays!

    In this time of spiraling anxiety, I hope everyone can take a moment to connect, center yourself, enjoy time with family, have some nice food and drink, kick back… It’s been a brute of a year! However, I’m grateful to still be working with some great clients, including a print magazine that is still going…

  • New Season, Updated Rates

    It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Given the realities of inflation, I’ve had to update my Rates page. My new rate for 2022 is $40 per 5K words for copyediting or a copyediting/developmental package. However, I now offer 10% copyediting discounts to clients who find me through Kboards or who are members of the Wide…

    In these dark days…

    Originally posted on Gabriella West: In “times of trouble,” as Paul McCartney put it once, we all need a little Beatles reminiscing.

  • New Service: a Flat Rate for Developmental Editing!

    Silly me… I should have notified folks that I was back from my holiday break. Well, now I am officially doing so, and I have a new offering for writers who are looking for developmental editing on their manuscripts only—writers new to self-publishing and authors of first books may particularly need this. So, for developmental…

  • Happy Holidays!

    It’s been a busy year for editing. I realize that I have copyedited or proofread at least 35 books, as well as stepping up my work for a bi-monthly local magazine, which continues. It hasn’t been a great year for my own writing, but that’s OK. Last year was. We can all use a break.…

  • Rate Drop!

    The Dow is not the only thing that’s dropping… I wanted to make sure my rates were in line with other editing services out there and so, starting today, I decided to lower copyediting rates across the board to a very affordable .006 per word as we head into the fall. Check out my Rates…

  • Too Darned Hot :) New 10% Off Deal All Summer Starts Now!

    We’ve had VERY unusual weather for the Bay Area this week — it was 97 degrees in San Francisco yesterday, and a similar temperature today. I’m wishing I was at the seaside with a bucket and spade! My spring sale was good. A new client called B.W. McKay had me copyedit two of his long…
