As of 2025, Jill is closed to edits and Kate will be providing all services until further notice.
We both have very similar editorial style, so you’ll find the same quality of service from both Jill and Kate. Sometimes, we might pair you with the one of us with the appropriate experience, interest, or expertise. Other times we’ll want to pair you with the person who can get you the timeliest service.
Standard editorial fees start at $125/hour, with a minimum four hour commitment per project. Flat fees are offered for first pages reviews, consultations, submission review, and picture book manuscripts.
We estimate one week turnaround for picture books, and about one month for manuscripts up to 75,000 words. Up to six weeks should be allowed for manuscripts longer than 75,000 words. Rush timelines are sometimes available for a higher rate.
This is going to vary on what service you would like, and what shape the manuscript is in. From experience, these things can either be 5 pages per hour to 30 pages per hour, with 10 pages per hour being the average for line edts. A developmental edit may not take as long as a line edit might, because we read slower when we are making line-by-line comments and re-reading our edits as we make them. If you would like an estimate, we can provide one based on a 10 sample pages and a total word count.
We will send you an initial quote based on project length and an estimation on time it will take to complete. We will do our best to remain within the initially estimated parameters; if the project was misrepresented or seems likely to require much more work than anticipated, we will send an updated quote and confirm with you before moving forward. PayPal and Venmo is preferred, with half due up front and half due upon completion.
That depends quite a bit on how hard you work, your willingness to revise, and your innate talent. We vow to read your work with utmost care, empathy, thoughtfulness, and professionalism; and to make suggestions we believe will best serve the project and your goals for the future.
