I work with self-publishing authors on memoirs, oral histories, and poetry, offering both developmental editing and full production support. My rates are based on Editorial Freelancers Association guidelines and reflect a collaborative, personalized approach.
"Working with Anna was an absolute gift. She is intelligent, creative and knowledgeable, and is also patient and kind. Her talent and thoughtful feedback supported me to write a book that was deeper and better (and better looking) than I could have imagined." -Eileen Goldman
Developmental Editing
This service includes:
Detailed, thoughtful feedback throughout your manuscript
Ongoing communication with purposeful rounds of review to help shape your manuscript
While this is not proofreading, I’ll mark any obvious errors I notice as I go.
I charge 4 cents per word for developmental editing. Example pricing: 50,000 words = $2,000
If a project involves more in-depth work or extra rounds of revision, we can discuss a custom rate.
Book Design
This service includes:
Book layout for text-based manuscripts (up to 60,000 words)
Basic cover design
Guidance, if needed, through the self-publishing process
Pricing starts at $500 and may vary depending on manuscript length and complexity (photos, design elements, etc.).
