Ghostwriting
Do you have​ a great idea, and possibly a bundle of scratched out notes or drafts, but just can't figure out how to get what you visualize in your head to look good on paper?  I can work off of your notes or drafts and create a concise, well-written and engaging product that you can be proud to put your name to. 

Screenwriting
Whether you have a rough draft of a completed screenplay that just needs that final polish before submission, or simply an outline, story board or an idea, I can help you get to where you need to go. 

Editing
​​We all know the importance of a "clean" finished product​​​.  If you already have a completed draft, I will edit for grammar, spelling, punctuation, flow, consistency of voice, wordiness, sentence structure, etc.  Additionally, I will provide comments and suggestions for ways that you can improve your project, including character development, restructuring of ideas, changes in sentence structure, organizational issues, etc.

Proofreading
One thing that all writers understand is that after you work on something long enough, it is easy to become blind to errors.  I have a very keen eye when it comes to grammar, punctuation, spelling, word choice, etc.  Don't send in your project until you are sure that it is your best work! ​​​    

Writing Services
Have a strong manuscript or screeplay, but need a powerful query letter?  Kicking your business into high gear with a new website, but don't have the copy?  I have experience writing query letters, synopses, web content, magazine or newsletter articles, professional correspondence, etc.


. rates​​​
In order to provide my clients with the most fair and consistent rates, I do not charge "per word" like many other editors.  Instead, I do most of my work based on my hourly rate of $30, or on a pre-determined "per page" rate which is negotiated at the beginning of a project.  With this structure, I am able to examine each individual project and give a good estimate of cost and completion time.  The following is a general guideline for different types of projects (but remember, each project is unique, and so is each estimate):

Ghostwr​iting-- From $10 to $20 per page **​​
 dependent upon what is provided by the ​​client
Editing​--From $8 to $10 per page
Proofreading-- $30 per hour
​Writing Services (web content, articles, query letters, etc.)-- $30 per hour​​

***A small note on pricing
Because each client and each project is completely unique, I will do my best to work with you on the price of my services.  I also structure projects so that the entire amount is not due at one time; typically, a deposit is made at the start of the project and payments are made along the way, with the final payment due at completion of the project.

Clients are also given an estimate at the beginning of each project, which will include a "not to exceed" clause for projects on the hourly rate scale.
