Line editing is where I go over your manuscript line-by-line and make suggestions to improve readability, clarity, and flow. My goal is to ensure your story shines through and doesn’t get bogged down in filler words and repetitive phrasing.
Starting at $0.016/word for manuscripts 20k words or longer
Copyediting is where I go over your manuscript with a fine-toothed comb and ensure your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax are on point. This is where I make sure the grammar rules are all followed—or, if you choose to break a rule, this is where I document which rules are being broken and why to ensure they are broken consistently.
Starting at $0.01/word for manuscripts 20k words or longer
Proofreading is the final check. I catch typos, make sure your font and formatting are consistent—all the fiddly things at the end.

What Clients Are Saying
Laura Marquez Diamond
Author of Power Play
Lindsey is the best kind of editor because she is a perfectionist as well as a sharp reader of the genre of romance. Lindsey creates consistency in my prose while ensuring my voice is still uniquely my own.
Alexandra Banks
Author of Tough Love
Working with Lindsey is always a pleasure. I trust her to help me make my story the best version possible. She is brilliant at seeing even the finest details. Highly recommend!
Chrissy Hopewell
Author of Since We’re Here
Knowing [Lindsey will] have my back with all the complicated grammar rules lets me focus on my story. She also provided a style guide for future reference. I’ve already booked her for my upcoming novel as I know she’s trustworthy, timely, and excellent at what she does.
Bryn Suddarth
Author of Servant of Fear
Working with Lindsey was a breath of fresh air! Her services are worth every penny. I sent her a manuscript I thought was already pretty easy to read, but the line edits she made brought out the best in my writing. She knows how to wrangle a sentence into its full potential, and she understands that editing can be a tough process.
