This service works best for those who are unfamiliar with project organization, those just starting out on a project, or those who need motivation and support to catapult them toward a successful, finished product.

This service will guide you through the process of constructing and developing your own languages so that they mimic true language evolution. It will start with the basics (such as phonemes, morphemes, and glyphs) and work through all aspects of language (such as parts of speech, syntax, and evolutionary concepts). We will work together to take the beginnings of your constructed language and transform it to conform to existing languages of today. The service includes three (3) 30-minute sessions via video/phone per month, and up to two (2) weekly emails. The is no minimum time requirement for this package.
With this service, I'll review your world-building material and notes for consistency and clarity, discrepancies and weaknesses, strengths and uniqueness, among other factors. I will offer a thorough critique with detailed feedback, pointing out places in your world that need work or reinforcement. The service includes the initial email exchange of your notes, my critique and feedback, and two, thirty-minute sessions via video/phone.
Available to previous clients (at half-off discount) for a follow-up critique, which will focus on going over finished world-building material.

A line-by-line review of your manuscript to correct mechanical errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word choice, all while preserving the meaning and voice of the original. I check for a consistent style and format, cross-checking references, descriptions (a character may start out with blue eyes but end up with brown eyes), and other features for consistency throughout the text.
I'll also review your manuscript for larger, overall errors and issues (plot flow, timeline, etc.) and flag them for your attention.
Includes Mechanical Editing (above), but also goes beyond simple mechanics to issues of flow, pacing, consistency, redundancy, characterization, transition, and other matters of style. Reading at this level, I make changes and suggestions to eliminate confusion, improve clarity, and make sure your text maintains the correct tone, level of detail, and perspective throughout. The result is clear, consistent, readable, and even sophisticated: a manuscript that hangs together from beginning to end with an overall sense of clarity and quality.
A hands-on approach to editing. It is a thorough line edit that includes technical corrections as well as suggestions from me to help you improve literary elements such as tone, organization, and voice. We will work on additional components such as characterization, world-building, and dialogue. We would work through the manuscript together through various mediums such as email, video/phone conferencing, texting, etc.
If you send your manuscript electronically and we print it, you'll accrue a printing fee.
