What are monthly specials? They’re a fun way for me to keep shiny projects in my inbox while helping authors put out special stories.

The Halloween Special — 30% off standard copyediting rates
I love Halloween. Chuck Tingles’s Camp Damascus, Agatha Christie’s Halloween Party, Ray Bradbury’s The Halloween Tree, Celestine Martin’s Witchful Thinking—the list goes on! I love stories that taste like pumpkin spice and stories that keep me up at night. If your novel has Halloween vibes, spooks, or terrors, it’s probably up my alley.
CRITERIA
The project must be:
- between 20,000–85,000 words
- adult, YA, or middle grade fiction
- filled with autumnal spooky vibesPumpkin patches, haunted houses, corn mazes, monster lovers, vampires, and ghosts are welcome!
The project must NOT:
- Be a slasher, serial killer, or detective story
- Contain excessive gore/violence
HOW TO REDEEM
If you novel fits the criteria above, fill out the contact form and include “HALLOWEEN SPECIAL” in the message box. If I still have room in my schedule, I will send you a free 2000-word editing sample and a project quote, 30% off the standard rate. This offer expires September 15, 2024.
(See the Editorial Freelancers Association to learn about standard editing rates. My quotes depend on whether the manuscript needs a standard or heavy copyedit, which is determined when I read the sample. I charge a flat project fee in exchange for the 20–50 hours I spend on authors’ books, editing each and every word with care.)
