Hi authors!

With years of experience in the industry, I ensure your work is polished and ready for publication. I offer a range of editing services, including copyediting, proofreading, and developmental editing, to meet your specific needs. Whether you're a first-time author or building your career, it’s my privilege to be able to work with you on the project you want to bring out into the world.

I've been a freelance copyeditor with City Owl Press and currently with Story Merchant -- I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have!

All information and calendar updates can be found on my website - https://jadewritesbooks.wixsite.com/mysite-1

Proofreading is $3 per 1k words. Eg: average novel = 60k words = $180

I look over your manuscript twice.
Both passes are to check grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Time of completion will vary depending on novel length and amount of bookings for the month. Priority service available.

Copyedits are $4 per 1k words. Eg. Average novel = 60k words = $240

I cover your manuscript twice.
Copyedits include everything as a proofread does, with the addition of sentence structure, tense, crutch words, continuity, and readability.
Time of completion will vary depending on novel length and amount of bookings for the month. Priority service available.

On a tight deadline? Need it in a hurry? I have a Fast Track service!

Fast Tracked also includes a 'clean' document, meaning in the event you accept all the changes on the edited file, you already have a clean manuscript ready to go.
Fast Tracked is available at an additional $1.25 per 1k words.

If you have a project a bit outside the norm, need an editor/proofreader committed to a series, or want to develop a long-term working relationship, I'm the one!

Hi authors!

A reminder that there's still an offer on this month --- 15% of all bookings made through November - that's including any bookings reserved for December or next year.

As for this month, I have EXPRESS options available, so please do reach out to discuss how I can help you in any way

Look forward to chatting with you!

Jade @ covertocoveredits · « **Reply #2 on:** November 19, 2019, 08:41:10 AM »

Hi authors! Hope you're keeping warm or cool, whatever the weather's doing where you are.

Into the end of November I have a few spots free -- 25th onwards is a good spot.

December has some dates lined up but I invite you to get in touch to discuss any of your project's needs, I should be able to fit you in

As always, love to chat about your projects - jadewritesbooks@gmail.com

Jade @ covertocoveredits · « **Reply #3 on:** November 26, 2019, 10:02:51 AM »

Hi authors! I can't believe we're at the end of the year already. Your books are keeping me busy and I love it ^_^

So this end week of November I have 1 space for either proofread or dev edit. December is starting to fill up with projects, but the week of the 9th December is free for both proofreads and developmental edits.

The ONLY days I won't be working over the holidays are the 24th and 25th December, and the 1st January. I invite you to get in touch to discuss any of your project's needs, I should be able to fit you in

Hi authors!

December's got busier and I've had some switcheroos happen; one project for the 16th Dec is now the 2nd January so the week of 16th December is now free! That would take me up to Christmas Eve, and I can do either 2 proofreads, or 1 developmental edit alongside a smaller project.

If you can't see the dates you need on my calendar, please do get in touch!

The ONLY days I won't be working over the holidays are the 24th and 25th December, and the 1st January.

The week of 16th December is free for a proofread! I could probably do this within 4-5 days, depending on size, so let me know if you're interested.

If you can't see the dates you need on my calendar, please do get in touch!

Once again, the ONLY days I won't be working over the holidays are the 24th and 25th December, and the 1st January. I am booking January projects now!! The week of the 1st January is currently reserved but the rest of the month is still to schedule.

Hey authors!

So January is proving busier than I expected - the last week of January is now the only time I have spots available for the rest of the month, so please do reach out if that's something you need!

The first week of February has one project, but it's still worth asking my availability. It's also worth booking spring early as you can, just to make sure I'm free!

Hello hello authors

February slots are open! The first week of February has several projects already, but it's still worth asking my availability. The calendar on my contact page will have more information (smaller, 1 day jobs not shown). It's also worth booking anything for spring early as you can, just to make sure your space is reserved.

Hi again authors!

I currently have space free from the 10th February for both edits and proofreads

I'm also finishing off some series requests, so I'm able to take on any series work as of the middle of Feb as well (ie: 7 book novels which might need a proofread / edit etc). Please do check the calendar on my contact page, that will have more information there, but it's worth asking me my availability anyway!

It's a bit breezy over here, so I've been snuggling down with your manuscripts. My website's now updated to have a cleaner feel, let me know what you think

As for projects, I have room from 17th February for proofreads and edits, all the way into March (at the moment). As always, would love to chat about your needs and dates - jadewritesbooks@gmail.com

Jade is a fixer. I had the luck of hiring her to proofread my book, but she did much more than I expected. She highlights nuanced problems in the manuscript that have gone unnoticed by the author and editor. She is professional, quick and friendly. Also, she offers affordable prices for new authors. If you want to publish an error-free book, hire Jade. I highly recommend her.

At the moment I have one slot available for a proofread or edit, and two slots for both from 4th April. Still waiting for confirmation of dates from a couple of authors, but please get in touch with your preferred dates, I'll probably be able to fit you in!

15% off is now going into April!! So you can also get your projects at discount.
