The Process
1. Initial Inquiry
Start by reaching out through my contact form or email. Tell me about your project, including:
-
The type of manuscript (book, Bible study, devotional, curriculum, blog, etc.)
-
Your word count
-
The type of editing you're seeking
-
Your desired timeline
-
Any specific concerns or goals you have for the project
I'll review your information and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.
2. Sample Review
For larger projects, I may request a sample of approximately 1,000–2,000 words.
This allows me to:
-
Assess the current state of the manuscript
-
Determine the appropriate level of editing
-
Estimate the time required
-
Provide an accurate quote
-
Ensure my editing style aligns with your expectations
The sample review also gives you an opportunity to see how I approach edits and feedback before committing to a full project. For works under 4,000 words, I will not do a sample review.
3. Proposal & Agreement
Once I've reviewed your project, I'll send a customized proposal outlining:
-
Scope of work
-
Editing service provided
-
Project timeline

Investment

Deliverables
After approval, a signed agreement and deposit will reserve your place on my calendar.
4. Editing & Feedback

Using Track Changes in Microsoft Word, I'll edit your manuscript while preserving your unique voice and message.
Depending on the level of editing selected, I may provide:
-
Corrections and revisions directly within the manuscript
-
Comments explaining suggested changes
-
Notes on clarity, flow, and structure
-
Recommendations for strengthening content
-
Reader-focused feedback
-
Theological and curriculum-specific observations for ministry resources
My goal is not to rewrite your work, but to help your writing communicate more effectively and confidently.
5. Delivery
You'll receive:
-
An edited manuscript with all revisions visible

Editorial comments and suggestions

A summary of key recommendations (for developmental projects)
You'll have the opportunity to review every suggested change and decide which revisions to accept.
