Here's a great article I recommend you read about editing and editing services: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kudler/book-editing_b_2990583.html
If you are unsure what service you require, you may contact me and ask more questions. I may ask you to send one or two pages for a sample edit at no charge, and you can then decide what meets your need. I will always try to work with you.
Professional manuscript review with comments (does not include full critique or edit) – up to 80,000 words - $75

Not sure about your big idea or the story arc or specific scenes/characters? I'll read through your manuscript and make suggestions about tightening your draft, making your story arc flow, genuine dialog, re-distributing backstory or places of "info dumping." For non-fiction, I can double-check facts and help tighten content and follow up on consistency.
Full line/Developmental edit - $3 per full typed, double-spaced page (325 words)
This service will use the track changes features for which I will make an original save, and do a proof read. If there are many word choice/content changes, you will be asked to complete those changes before I do ta final proofread. Please allow two weeks for the first full edit and a week for the proofreads, after I start the work. You are still responsible to check your piece over before your final submission for publication. The best thing you can do is to read your entire manuscript out loud.

I highly recommend Lisa Lickel for editing. She edited our book, "The Forgiveness Formula" that had many formatting issues to correct and did it beautifully. She is professional, responds quickly and finished our project promptly. I am very pleased with her work and am so thankful for all she did to prepare our book for publication. I recommend that you contact her today about your project!
