Editing Services

Do you ever wish you could get another set of professional eyes on your work before submitting it? Would you like an editor to help perfect your story pitch before you query a publication? Or do you want to work on building your style and confidence before launching your own writing business?

If any of these describes you, read on to see how the Writing Coach Editing Service can support you in reaching your writing goals. At Writing Coach, we believe that successful writing needs to be excellent from concept to comma--that is, from the big picture content and organization to the minutiae of grammar and word usage. When you subscribe to our Editing Service, an experienced editor works directly with you to develop both aspects of your work.

Our editors have formal journalism training or equivalent experience in the field and extensive writing/editing credits, and they'll bring that experience to work for you. But they won't rewrite your pieces in their own words; rather, they'll suggest ways to improve on your ideas and style--helping make your writing your personal best.

Our Editing Service Basic package gives you three months working with your individual editor, for $200/month ($600 total). After that, you can always opt to extend the service. If you think you need a little extra mentorship, you can choose our Editing Service Premium package, $300/month ($900 total for the three-month package), which includes rewrite support, or you can upgrade at any time.

Here's how the Writing Coach Editing Service works:

One-on-one phone conference:

  • You begin with a 20-minute call with your editor to get to know one another. This is your chance to tell your editor about your personal goals and what you want to get out of the program, so we can tailor it to your needs...and get results.

Critiques:

  • You can submit one piece of writing up to 750 words per month (basic service) or two pieces of writing up to 1,000 words per month (premium service). Your editor will respond with detailed feedback, including:

    1. An overall critique of the content, organization and language that points out weaknesses and suggests specific ways to address those weaknesses and improve the end product; and

    2. An edited draft with corrections and suggestions that address the nuts and bolts of the writing, from spelling and grammar to word use and style.

Follow-up:

  • If any of the suggestions or edits isn't clear, just email your editor for clarification. We'll get back to you as soon as possible!

  • Premium subscribers are welcome to submit a new draft of a previously-critiqued piece for your second monthly critique.

When you sign up for the Writing Coach Editing Service, you'll get detailed feedback that will help you craft excellent pieces of writing--and along the way, you'll pick up tips and ideas that will allow you to improve your work going forward, as well.
