·  Turnaround is within one to three weeks, depending on my schedule.
·  I will give a FULL EDIT, fixing grammar and punctuation, tense, replace over-used words and, if necessary, suggest cuts or additional scenes for pacing. I will also point out any plot holes and inconsistencies.
·  I generally work your book as a full manuscript.  I will make corrections then return it to you for review. When you have gone over the entire work and made any suggested changes, I go through the full manuscript a second time (included in cost) before your final read through.
·  When you get my edits back, I recommend you go over it one more time.
·  I invite you to send me a sample page, 500 words, for me to edit free of charge to see if we can work well together.

"I found Diane to be very conscientious when critiquing my recent manuscript. In addition to editing for consistency and clarity, her honesty is refreshing and if she feels a certain idea lacks merit, she won’t hesitate to say so. When preparing a manuscript for publishers, it is important to have someone be truthful about your work and suggest helpful ways to improve. Diane does all that, and more."
