Editing Services
I provide line editing, copyediting, and proofreading to self-publishing authors and indie publishers nationwide. For select projects, I'm also able to give more in-depth developmental or substantive edits; please email me to inquire.
I specialize in editing stories of transformation in contemporary fiction and creative nonfiction; these can include stories of disillusionment, religious deconstruction, coming-of-age stories, to name a few. Other genres I'm proficient in include romance, fantasy, and self-help.
"Lore's dedication and unwavering commitment to inclusivity and their sensitivity to the experience of marginalized voices sets them apart in the editing field. Working with Lore not only improved the quality of my writing, but also deepened my understanding of how to respectfully and effectively represent a wide range of perspectives."
Jule Leigh, author of This Is Big
"My initial thought was that copyediting and line editing were going to be too expensive and not absolutely necessary. But what Lore ended up doing for me was invaluable. Thank you so much."
Dan Taylor, author of
The Adventures and Misadventures of an Early Peace Corps Volunteer
Line Editing
Line-by-line examination of the language in your story. I carefully read through your book and get to know your voice to then offer suggestions to improve the impact of your words in a way that goes beyond grammar and spelling.
Prices starting at $.04/word.
Copyediting
Mechanical editing for spelling, grammar, syntax, consistency, and style choices. I study your words in painstaking detail to offer edits that strengthen your manuscript and connect your story to your readers.
Prices starting at $.03/word.
Proofreading
Careful final readthrough to catch stray typographical and spelling errors, formatting snafus, and glaring grammar blunders. This service is only for publishers or self-publishing authors who have already had their books copyedited and formatted.
Prices starting at $.015/word.
