Frequently Asked Questions
What primary services do you offer?
Beta reading, proofreading, copy editing, and line editing. See my Services page for more information.
What are the rates of your services?
Rates among freelance editors vary like crazy and it can be extremely difficult for an editor to price their work, as well as for an author to find the right price point for them. My editing rates are less than many of my fellow editors and are well under the editing rates recommended by the American Editorial Freelancers Association. To see my rates, please visit my Services page.
What do you specialize in?
I specialize in romantic fiction. That said, I have also worked with sci-fi, romantic suspense, fantasy, and mystery, and I am open to editing any genre.
How do you provide changes?
I prefer all manuscripts to be sent to me in a Word document. That way, I can track changes and send you a copy of my edits and comments that are easily viewable, readable, and, dare I say it, rejectable.
How much notice do you need for me to be able to get on your schedule?
As with anything, the more notice, the better. However, I always try my best to be accommodating to your deadline(s) and make every effort to work with you on what works for both our schedules.
What are your guidelines?
Use my Contact page or email me at proofreadingbybrooke@gmail.com to schedule an edit with me.
All orders will have a minimum fee of $50, regardless of word count.
If you need your edits back within 7 days, there will be a flat rush fee added on top of your order total.
Payment is accepted through PayPal or Venmo.
I am more than happy to hop on a call with you to discuss your manuscript, style, previous works, etc. to establish if we would be a good match!
