Big-picture feedback to strengthen your story, structure, and credibility.

​

Whether you're writing your first reader or refining a draft you've used with students, developmental editing is a great place to start. I’ll review your manuscript with an eye toward:

​

• Plot structure and pacing

• Character development and consistency

• Clarity, tone, and flow

• Cultural relevance and accuracy

• Alignment with proficiency-based instruction

​

If there’s something specific you’d like feedback on — vocabulary level, dialogue, engagement — just let me know.

​

You’ll receive your feedback in the form of an editorial letter: a detailed document that explains what’s working well, what could be improved, and suggestions to guide your revisions. It’s not just a list of corrections — it’s thoughtful, big-picture guidance that respects your voice and helps you move forward with confidence.

​

Developmental editing is available for materials written in French or English.

​

Rates

For first-time clients, I charge $75 for an editorial letter. This includes a 30-minute follow-up conversation (optional) to answer questions or help you think through revisions.

Additional editing support — whether on the same project or a future one — is billed at $40/hour.

Refining your language while keeping your voice intact.

​

Copyediting focuses on both the mechanics of your writing and the clarity of your message. I review your manuscript line by line to correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, while also improving flow and tone.

​

I approach each project from the perspective of both a language teacher and a language learner — noticing where language may be confusing, inconsistent, or too complex for your intended proficiency level — and offer suggestions to make your writing smooth, accurate, and classroom-ready.

​

You’ll receive your manuscript with suggested edits tracked and a brief summary of overall observations.

​

Rates:

• Billed at $40/hour for longer projects

• Minimum charge: Billed in 15 minute increments at $40/hour for resource editing.

Final polish before publication.

​

Proofreading is your last line of defense before releasing your material. I’ll scan for:

​

• Grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors

• Typographical mistakes and formatting issues

• Repeated or missing words

​​

This is best suited for manuscripts that have gone through the copy editing process and are otherwise complete and ready for final review. Your manuscript should be formatted for publication. I will conduct this review of a PDF of your manuscript but will also need a Google Doc or Word version. You’ll receive your manuscript with suggested edits tracked and a brief summary of overall observations.

Every word matters — and every word deserves clarity.

​

In CI-style readers, the glossary is an essential instructional tool — not just a bonus feature. I create or revise glossaries to ensure they reflect every word and idiomatic phrase used in your text, in line with best practices in comprehensible input materials.

I don’t assume students “should already know” certain words. Instead, I treat the glossary as a complete, accurate support for readers who may be encountering these terms for the first time.

​

What I offer:

• Full-text glossaries that list every word and phrase used in the story

• Accurate, student-friendly definitions (English or French, depending on your format)

• Consistent formatting and alignment with the vocabulary level of your intended audience

​

If you already have a glossary, I can revise it for accuracy, consistency, and formatting.
