“…Also Vanessa Wells, who’s done a whiz-bang job copy editing the last three books under some harried conditions (all of the author’s doing!).’’

If you’re interested in having me edit your book, please send me your manuscript in a Word file, and I’ll do a free copy editing or proofreading sample of two or three of those pages (about 500–750 words) and establish an approximate timeline for the required level of editing. I’ll send it back with an estimate based on industry standards and as recommended by the professional associations I’m affiliated with. At that point, you can decide if you’d like to work with me. If so, I’ll send you a contract with the specifics (but no legalese or too-small print!) so there’ll be no surprises for either of us. To book your time slot, a nonrefundable deposit of 50% is required: that’s because I’m reserving that time for your project and will have turned away other paying jobs for that period.
