A line by line edit focusing on grammar, spelling, punctuation, logic, and continuity

I will make notes on structure (story), plot, character, point of view, and offer comments and suggestions for revision. It is possible to combine a copy edit and story analysis.

Price negotiable depending on the project

I average 10 pages/hour for a copy edit, depending on how much work the manuscript needs. A 100,000 word manuscript with a fair number of errors can take up to 40 hours to copy edit properly.  Obviously, a story analysis is the less expensive option, requiring roughly 10 hours of work.
