Manuscript Writing Services
Creative writing is personal. You spend months, if not years, perfecting your plot, developing your characters, and discovering the depth and passion of your work. You may be terrified to release your manuscript into the world, yet only by letting others read your story will you be able to amuse, inspire, and evoke change. Whether you’re planning to self-publish or you’re hoping to send your manuscript to an agent, you want your writing to reflect your best creative self. Little Leaf Copy Editing’s writing services will give your manuscript an academic edge, the type of edge that will turn the page.

Final Galleys Proofread
Final Galleys Proofread
This level of proofreading involves conducting a final read-through to catch overlooked grammatical errors, missing words, strange sentence or paragraph breaks, or other formatting-type errors. With this service, I receive the manuscript as a pdf. I will create a document that notes what items need to be changed and their corresponding page numbers. You'll then be able to take those notes and hand them off to the person who is formatting your manuscript for publication.
$1.00 to $2.50 per galley page (approximately 250 words per page), depending on the type of manuscript and the depth of content.
