Can I get editorial feedback on a full-length novel?
Absolutely! I love working with writers on their novels. Anything over 20000 words is charged at a flat rate of £10 per 1000 words. So for a 100000 word novel, you would pay £250 for the first 20000 words, then £10 per 1000 words after that. To book an edit on your novel, you would select the 200000 package and add as many additional +1000 words as you need to cover the full word count. (So, for your 100000 word novel, you'd add 80 x 1000 additional words). Please get in touch with me before booking an edit on a full-length novel so that we can discuss a schedule that works for both of us.
Can I send more than one document?
Yes you can. If, for example, you book a 10000 word package but you only want to send me 8000 words of your novel, you might choose to include a 1000 word synopsis and a 1000 word plot breakdown too. As long as the documents all relate to the same project, I'm more than happy to look at ancillary material as well.
Why do all documents have to relate to the same project? Why can't I send you three 3000 word short stories in the 10000 word package?
Simply put, because that would mean I'd be writing three editorial reports and that's the part of the process that takes the most time! The only exception might be if you've booked the 3000 word package and your story is much shorter than 3000 words (1200 words or under) - in that case, drop me a line and I'll see if we can work something out.
Can I get feedback on rewritten work?
Absolutely! I charge a reduced rate (£0.01 per word) to look at work that's been rewritten after one of my editorial packages and you can choose to send me excerpts rather than the full document if there are particular sections you'd like me to focus on specifically. You'll get another editorial report and an annotated document, though feedback on rewritten work doesn't include a telephone or Zoom call.
Can I split the call/Zoom feedback time allocated in the package?
For the 3000 and 10000 word packages, unfortunately not - the calls must be taken in one block. But for the 20000 word package, absolutely - we can do it as two 30-minute calls if you prefer. Sometimes, this is helpful to writers as it allows you to digest the information in the first call and come back to me with any questions that come up after you've had a chance to consider.
Can I book more time on the phone/Zoom?
Yes you can - if you feel like you'd benefit from another conversation about your work, just let me know. I charge £20 for half an hour or £30 for an hour.
Do you offer copyediting/line editing services?
No, that's a different sort of edit and I leave that to the folks who specialise in that area.
Where can I read the Terms & Conditions?
Right here.
