High-Quality Editing at Unbeatable Prices

Hi! I’m Emma, a published author and professional editor who loves working with authors to help them make their stories the best they can be.

I’m here to make your writing shine, not take over! I provide tailored, in-depth support that gives you both actionable feedback and a thorough assessment of all the things you’ve done well and the best parts of your story and style.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ writers, especially in general fiction, romance, historical fiction, horror and fantasy, but I’m happy to work in any genre. I’m especially passionate about working with marginalized writers, and I’ll always offer a safe, open and non-judgmental space for everyone.

Affordable book editing

If you want to self-publish and have started looking for an editor to help you, you’ll already know just how pricy the service can be. Of course editors deserve to be paid fairly, but if your budget isn’t there, how are you supposed to find a cheap book editor you can actually afford?

Well, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a professional book editor, and my prices are more affordable than most.

Expert editing at affordable prices

When something is cheap, it’s easy to think it’s too good to be true. I promise that’s not the case here. I have years of editorial experience, having edited several now-published books for an indie publisher and been an editor for a literary journal, with several clients now behind me. I also have a certification in copy editing from CIEP, and I’m a traditionally published author.

Editing at prices to suit every budget

I’m new to working freelance, which means I’m still working on my portfolio and building up a client list. For a very limited time, that’s why I’m offering such cheap book editing. Right now, all my services come at a flat rate which is only a fraction of what more established editors charge. Regardless of your book’s length, the price will be the same, and additional discounts are available if you buy multiple services or come back with a second book. Getting your book edited doesn’t have to cost your entire savings. I can help you at a price that won’t break the bank.

Cheap editing with no AI

Many editors you find online will offer extremely cheap rates because they don’t actually edit your book. They put it into an AI and barely check the comments over before sending them back to you. The instinct to be wary is good, but I promise no AI will ever be used in the editing process if you choose me. I am strongly anti-AI, and your book is safe in my hands. All editing will be done by me alone.

A range of affordable services

I offer cheap developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing in all genres, although I specialize in general fiction, historical fiction, horror, romance and fantasy. If you’re not sure what type of editing you need, that’s okay too! I can assess your book for free and let you know what my recommendation is, with no obligation to hire me afterwards.

Free sample edits

If you’re interested in my cheap editing services, I would love to hear from you! I offer a free sample edit of your first 1,000 words, so that you can get a sense for the way I work and communicate and decide if I’m a good fit for you before you decide. You can submit your sample through the form on the website, and I’ll get it back to you within just a few days. If you’re looking for a cheap book editor, get in touch while my prices are still low, as this offer will only remain available for a limited time. I can’t wait to hear what you’re working on!
