This editing service includes: marking errors in the text, guidance to strengthen your writing and develop your story or manuscript, some rewriting and in-depth commentary on your manuscript. Personal help at this level is $35 per hour. The number of hours can be reduced if the author does most of the re-writing himself or herself based on commentary from the editor.
