Reading

Developmental editing focuses on the full content of your story. I will assess the plot, pacing, character development, and narrative structure of your manuscript to provide clear, actionable suggestions where your story could be stronger and highlight its best elements. My developmental editing services will elevate your story while staying true to your creative vision.

$50.00 Flat Rate

Beta readers provide feedback on unreleased manuscripts. In a two to three-week time frame, I will give you a general review, similar to what any reader might post on Goodreads or Storygraph, as well as provide detailed feedback on the following:

Were the opening lines compelling?
Does the story hold a reader's interest?
Are there any characters that need more development?
Do any scenes feel unnecessary or out of place?
Are there any words, phrases, or concepts that seemed overused?
Does the ending seem satisfying?
Other points of interest or specific feedback at the author's request.

Service Pricing and Payment Structure

At Cupid's Inkwell, our services are priced based on a straightforward per-word rate. For projects of 1,000 words or fewer, payment is due in full upfront. For projects exceeding 1,000 words, we require a 50% deposit, with the remaining 50% payable upon completion.

To simplify pricing, we round word counts to the nearest 100 words. If the word count is 50 or more words above a round number, we round up. If it is fewer than 50 words above, we round down. For example, the cost for 550 words will be the same as for 500 words, while the cost for 560 words will be the same as for 600 words.

Writing commissions

I provide opportunities for copywriting and creative project commissions. My prices and availability are subject to my current editing workload, the nature of the project content, and its length.
