Editing Sample and Evaluation

25


25 per package - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 27, 2016

With my experience as a literary agent, I can correct and sharpen your writing, or write your story for you based on notes and conversations. This is my introductory service, in order to get a clear picture of the work you need as well as to give you a sample of my writing and editing style.

I need your synopsis and five pages taken from the middle of the novel to get an accurate assessment of the work needed. I time my work - if it goes over an hour, I know that I am looking at a level 4 service, and I stop there. This is for evaluation purposes, not just to give you five pages of work. 5 pages of editing is worthless if that is all that can be done for you because the manuscript requires an untenable amount of hours. I offer not just editing, but evaluation and instruction.

I specialize in full length novels, so when I complete this service I offer my proposal for the entire work. Complexity of work falls into 4 levels, plus ghostwriting.

Level 1 - Proofreading
Level 2 - Light Line Editing (approximately 1 correction per page)
Level 3 - Heavy Line Editing (more than 1 correction per page)
Level 4 - Developmental Editing (includes rewriting and major shifts in structure, as well as POV reconsideration)
Ghostwriting - Complete story writing, based on an idea or notes and conversations for biographical works.

About Sarah Ray

Friends say if they had to pick one word to describe me, it would be "versatile." Former literary agent, author of two novels published on Amazon, editor, artist, photographer, sculptor, minister/hea...ling facilitator, and a political and environmental activist, I aim to bring beauty, peace, and understanding into the world wherever possible. On Valentine's Day, 2000, I set out on my bicycle from Hilton Head Island, SC, heading for Eagle Pass, TX. This was the beginning of an adventure I embarked on to promote my environmental cooperative, Earth Warriors Venture, but it became a spiritual journey, as well. Along the way, I did 11 newspaper interviews and 5 TV interviews.That was the best time in my life, and it taught me to live fearlessly, in the moment, and to enjoy traveling light. That isn't to say there were not some scary moments. For the most part though, people are good-hearted and willing to reach out to help strangers in need. I met some wonderful angels on my journey, also. I arrived at the border of Mexico on Earth Day. This was a clearing experience for me, preparation for the spiritual emergence I would experience soon after this. The following spring, I felt compelled to attend a 4 day spiritual retreat. When it was done, I was a new person, experiencing absolute joy for the first time in my life. Sharing this joy is the greatest purpose in life, and what we are all meant to experience. It's my pleasure to offer my skills to assist others in their journey, whether it be by facilitating their self-healing miracle, or helping them to realize their dream of bringing their vision to the world in a published novel.show more
