My Sample Edits

Sample edit template with purple background, sample pages, and a circle showing 35 dollars. Text beneath lists services including proposal on HoneyBook, memo, and manuscript markups.

A sample edit helps writers get a vibe for my editorial and communication style.

What Does Each Sample Edit Include?

Each sample edit will include the following:

  • Proposal with customized quotes

  • Manuscript markups: Manuscript markups are in-line comments that can cover observations, questions you might consider during revision, potential big-picture issues, and potential solutions.

  • Memo: A short memo is similar to a mini-editorial letter since it covers the strengths and areas that need work in your story.

  • Free Bonus: Receive a free self-doubt mini-workbook to help you focus on positive thoughts during writing slumps.

The memo will also cover the following:

✔ Does the story start in a compelling way?

✔ Is there a strong hook?

✔ Are there any drifting-off moments?

✔ Does the audience get a sense of the main characters?

✔ Insight on why the prologue isn’t working (if your story has one).

I always treat sample edits like mini-editorial letters, which can take between 3 - 10 business days, depending on my availability and complexity of the project.

What you’ll do:

✓ Fill out the editor inquiry form and submit a payment for the sample edit

✓ Fill out the Author Questionnaire Form I’ll send you after I receive the payment.

✓ Send the first two chapters of your manuscript in a Word Doc in the form or via email

✓ Review the Proposal, sample edit, and Letter of Agreement

For those who move forward with my services, the sample edit cost will factor into the total cost for the editorial service you select.
