Developmental Editing.
You've got an idea, but you don't know quite how to get it onto the page. Or maybe you got stuck halfway through your project.
Matthew has spent years helping clients take their writing projects from concept to completion. Developmental editing usually involves video chat or phone conversations as well as trading drafts of the writing project.

Line Editing.
You've got a complete book manuscript, but it just doesn't flow right. Or maybe you wrote the essay you've been dreaming about, but you need another pair of eyes on it before it's ready for prime time.
Matthew specializes in giving each paragraph, sentence, and word the attention it needs to let your true voice come through. Line editing usually involves some preliminary video chat or phone conversations about what you're going for and the nature of the project. Then Matthew will go to work on your draft, sending it back full of questions, comments, and suggested revisions—all designed to make your writing as clear, fluid, and memorable as possible.

Copy Editing.
You've got your dissertation right where you want it—except you know you've probably made some mistakes in your citations. Or maybe you wrote your book manuscript, but you have no idea what the Chicago Manual of Style is, much less how to apply it to your book!

Rates.
Rates vary by project, but are competitive.
Developmental editing and application essays are usually billed as all-inclusive packages, so you don't need to worry about sneaky hourly rates. Line and copy editing projects are usually billed at a per-word rate that depends on the density and condition of the text, the turnaround time, and the level of editing provided. |
