I use the “Track Changes” feature in Word (or in Pages or Google Docs, upon request) for all edits.
I invoice and accept payments through PayPal. Half of the total fee is due upon receipt of your manuscript, and the balance is due before I send the completed edits back to you.

A $100 fee is required at the time of booking that will be applied to your 50% deposit. The booking fee is forfeited if you cancel or reschedule within 30 days of your appointment.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or to request a sample edit of one chapter.
What Clients Are Saying...
I cannot recommend Autumn enough. I needed a proofreader and Autumn blew me out of the water with her attention to detail and ability to explain the why of the rules. I have since started used her for copy edits and they’re phenomenal! Seriously, you can’t go wrong with Autumn.
She communicates well, stays on track, and cares about making sure your manuscript shines.
Autumn is, hands down, one of the best copy editors and proofreaders in the indie publishing scene! She cares about accuracy and readability and makes it a point to keep abreast on the various different writing style guides and their rules therein. Even better, she does a beautiful job applying the proper mechanics without watering down writers' personal styles and voices. Autumn is a true hidden gem in the industry, and I am very happy to have found her.
Autumn offers timely, professional content feedback as well as copy and proof editing.
Her work is thorough and accurate.
Highly recommend!
