Punctuation: Commas, periods, quotation marks, paragraph breaks, and ellipses are all checked to ensure that they are used correctly and consistently.
Consistency: Manuscript is checked to ensure that character names remain the same throughout the book, chapter titles are listed consistently and in chronological order, and that the Contents page accurately reflects the contents of the book.
Price: $50 per 10,000 words ($0.005 per word)
"Maureen was perfect in every sense of the word. Her editing discovered many errors that made the difference between a 'book' and a professionally edited novel. She then proceeded to format my novel, taking the time to help me choose the best interior for the subject matter. Everything was delivered as promised and the uploading of my novel to Amazon, Kindle and Smashwords went smoothly." Sunny Alexander, Flowers from Iraq: The Storyteller and The Healer
