The Escapist Editor Services
How we build your vision.
Service packages are formulated to provide the most effective and appropriate options for your needs. Payment plans are available for all package options and are subject to prior determination.
The Spur-of-the-Moment Joyride
This quick escape provides passive developmental edit along with a manuscript review. This is a starter option that lets you test the waters before investing in your editing adventure. Without making any changes, the feedback provided will give you an idea of the editing level needed to complete your vision.
The Weekender
This getaway is short and sweet, focusing on a basic proofread with a dash of copy-editing. Targeting typos, grammar, sentence structure, and repetition, this option will also include some light copy-editing and a summary touching on some larger issues that are open for improvement. The package provides that little bit of oomph you get from an inspired weekend away, helping to get your novel polished and ready for publishing.
*This package includes vocal editing sessions for the first four chapters of the manuscript. The option to extend to the full manuscript is available at an additional charge.
The Family Vacation
This vacay will feel as if you're bringing the family along for the ride. This package starts with a manuscript review to get communications open. Analysis and feedback on major issues and suggested changes will revolve around tips and recommendations to coach you through your rewrites. Once we reach that destination, the adventure continues with an in-depth, comprehensive line-edit. Improving dialogue, organization, word choice, plotting and pacing, all while promising to be more objective than your big brother may be. The result may feel like a nitpicking parent, but in the end, will leave you with a stronger manuscript.

Combining the work of all the other packages, The Honeymooner expands upon them by addressing any major writing issues to help improve overall skill and build that strong foundation.
