Writing the World Editing

I offer a completely free sample edit. Send your complete manuscript via email as an attachment in MS Word (.docx, .doc, or .rtf) to h_stanbrough@yahoo.com.

I define a sample edit as a full, complete edit of a few to several pages. I’ll get your sample edit back to you, usually the same day. If I’m interested, I’ll offer you a low per-word fee. If not, I’ll refer you to any of several other editors who might be a better match for you.

  • Novel, memoir or short fiction collections only, please
  • Absolutely NO present-tense narrative, regardless of genre or which fad is currently in fashion
  • Absolutely NO rough drafts (e.g., manuscripts replete with spelling errors, comma splices and/or run-on sentences
  • I reserve the right to reject any manuscript for any reason

Notes

  1. The above restrictions apply only to my editing service, not to my eformatting service.
  2. When I accept a manuscript for editing, it goes into a queue. I edit manuscripts in the order they were received for editing.
  3. Due to time constraints, I can’t offer to read or review manuscripts without doing an edit.

Of necessity, I reserve the right to refuse to edit any manuscript for any reason.
