Request a Sample Edit

Requesting a sample edit is the first step in our working relationship. I’m so excited to get to know you and your writing better!

 

 The Sample Edit Process

Here’s a quick rundown on what happens when you request a sample edit:

1) You fill out the contact form to let me know you’re interested in a sample edit.

2) I’ll send you instructions for sending in your full manuscript via email.

3) I survey the manuscript as a whole, gauging the condition of the manuscript and to note the overall style & structure.

4) I complete a detailed edit of the first 10-ish pages of your manuscript and write a short editorial memo.

5) I prepare a quote with the project cost and a proposed timeline.

6) You review the sample edit and my project quote.

7) We discuss any questions or concerns that you have about the quote or editing process.

8) If you accept the quote, I’ll send you a contract and invoice for the deposit (10% of project price). If you don’t accept my quote, I’ll thank you for considering me as an editor and we’ll part ways.

If you have any questions please let me know by filling out the sample edit request form above or emailing me directly at oliviahelpswriters@gmail.com.

Thanks again for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you soon!
