Copyediting Services

Need someone to check your final draft, to be sure you've dotted your i's and crossed all your t's? As a former attorney, my attention to detail means I'll spot all those little mistakes that you are just too close to the project to see.
And if you'd like some editing advice on structure, format, or word choice, I can help with that too.


Developmental edits

If you're struggling with format or flow of your argument, you might need someone to look at your first draft.
A big-picture edit works on content and clarity, with a guaranteed second edit to polish


Line edits

This is where we focus on voice and the detail of word choice, repetitiveness, and the flow sentence to sentence. Can be done with a developmental edit or with a copy edit.


Copy Edits

This is what you probably imagined when you came looking for an editor! Make sure your work is polished and free of typos, grammar problems, and punctuation issues.

Pricing - it can be tricky

I know, I know. You want me to give you a nice easy cost per page. I want to do that too, believe me. It would make things sooooo much easier.
But I can't. This work depends on a lot of variables, like how much editing is involved, how much input you need, and how much work you need me to do, both on a one-off project, and ongoing.
So, much as I hate to do this, my copyediting works on a set hourly fee.
$125 per hour, with a one-hour minimum, and 30-minute minimum increments after that.

Sarah Talbert
copywriter and strategist

I've been a professional writer for 15+ years, and I'm someone my clients often count on for a good proofreading. However, I also know that it's practically impossible proofread your own work, so I hired Gillian to proofread my novel. I was absolutely blown away by Gill's attention to detail.It's tough to find someone who cares about your work as much as you do, but I found that in Gill. If you need a proofreader or an editor, I highly recommend her thorough, detail-oriented work. Thank you, Gill! I'll definitely be coming back to you again.
