Editorial Assessment
$20.00 CDN / hour
Get a full manuscript review of reader observations about plot, structure, characters, flow, pacing, POV, style, and quality.

This affordable option gives basic feedback for your manuscript before you commit to the more expensive developmental editing stage.
More in-depth than a beta reading report, less intensive than developmental editing.

Copyediting

Like line editing, this comes with in-text comments to catch typos and polish up your manuscript before designing.
Recommended for all authors.
