Editing Services
Ignite's editorial services are provided by Claire Sheridan.
​
If you have questions, or if your project is a little different, please contact Claire to discuss your needs.
1
An Analysis: A Good Place to Start
Analysis consists of a read-through of your entire piece and combines the elements of a beta reader and a manuscript evaluation.
After reading your work, Claire provides you with a written overview, which will include feedback about what’s working, what might be challenging for your reader, and suggestions to help clarify or strengthen your story.
Rates are based on length.
5-page complementary sample; $6.50 per double-spaced, typewritten, 12-point font page with 1.5” margins ($0.026/word).

Editing: Ready for the Next Step
Claire's editing combines line edits and developmental editing; it consists of a thorough, in-depth reading of your piece.
You’ll receive line-by-line feedback through Track Changes in a Microsoft Word or Google document, including suggestions about shortening, clarifying, or deepening your piece.
This may include word changes, suggestions about rearranging the order of the piece, and/or identifying story gaps. As Claire edits, she'll also be looking at technical aspects of the work, such as word tense and subject/verb agreement.
5-page complementary sample; $8.75 per double-spaced, typewritten, 12-point font page with 1.5” margins ($0.035/word).

​
Please include the following about your project:
• whether your piece is fiction or non-fiction
• the topic or genre of the piece
• approximate word count
• any deadlines you’re facing.
​
First, we'll set a time for an initial, complimentary zoom consultation to determine whether we're a good fit for working together.
Once we decide it’s a go, Claire will provide a copy of Ignite's Service Agreement with all the details of our working relationship.
After that’s done, once Ignite receives your retainer, it’s off to the races!
