Editing Services

That’s right, I’m open for editing again!

Thorough editing that won’t break your wallet, your spirit, or your voice!

Please read through this page before contacting me. I am only taking on a limited clientele and reserve the right to decline service if for any reason I do not feel I am the right editor for the project or that the book is ready for my services. At that time I may provide other resources.

BEFORE considering me as an editor for your manuscript, you should have already had your manuscript beta-read, rewritten, critiqued, and revised. I’m offering the final polish before you send your work to a proofreader. Though I include a lot of copy-editing in my services as well, it’s always best to have a fresh set of eyes go over these last changes you will make to ensure there are no typos or bloopers that occurred while applying any changes.

Testimonials

“Becca’s edit was exactly what I needed. She wasn’t afraid to say what worked for her and what didn’t.  She also picked out things I never thought about, and her suggestions were spot on! Some editors hand back the work and call it good. Her job didn’t stop with the return of my manuscript. She helped see me through to the end. What I had left was a polished manuscript, ready to be published.

“Before choosing Becca, I researched and contacted a few editors, gave samples, and received quotes. I could’ve easily paid ten times more for the same level of editing I received from Becca. She looks out for indie authors. She’s one of the few who’s fees reflect her support. An edit doesn’t have to break the bank in order for your work to be the best it can be. Becca has proven that.”

~Samantha LaFantasie, Author of Made to Forget

“Rebecca Hamilton has edited both of my books, INTO YOU and CARPE DiEMILY, along with numerous other writing projects. She is my go-to editor for a number of reasons:  she is consistent, diligent, timely, efficient, positive, encouraging, honest, skilled, and effective. She has a detailed eye and is able to pick up on inconsistencies that other readers miss. She is honest with her feedback, and has made my books so much stronger with her intelligent suggestions. Most of all, Rebecca has respect for the writer’s work, which in my mind is the most important quality an editor can have. She is supportive of each writer’s vision and works hard to ensure that each book reaches its potential and is the best it can be. I highly recommend Rebecca Hamilton!” ~Riley J. Ford, author of INTO YOU (Comedic Best Seller) and CARPE DiEMILY (also a Comedic Best Seller!)

“Most editors have strengths in one particular area, but Rebecca Hamilton is good at everything–low-level details, POV, setting, clarity–that she offers more than other editors at a fraction of the price.” ~R.P. Kraul, author of MIRRORS OF ANGUISH

“If you ever have editing needs, Rebecca Hamilton is the one you need to go to. She’s tough, but she’s honest. I appreciated that about her. She doesn’t just line edit, she motivates and helps you create by questioning and thinking beyond the words on the page. For me, it’s not just about paying someone to find missing punctuation. It’s about a relationship with someone who understands your vision. Words are her passion, and she is so very talented. Rebecca is the reason I didn’t give up on my dream. I challenge you to find someone else who will give you that along with their “editing service”.” ~Jennifer Sosniak

When I set out to release my first book, I made the same mistake that so many independent authors do: I thought I could avoid getting an editor. But, luckily, before I released my book, I had the good fortune to meet Rebecca Hamilton. I thought my book was ready, but it had a long way to go. Rebecca knows the ins and outs of grammar, she knows point of view and tense, in short, she knows the nuts and bolts mechanics that make the English language work. As storytellers, we can create infinite possibilities, but we can’t properly share our creations without clear and correct use of the language. Rebecca helps you to communicate the story as closely to your vision as possible, giving your reader the best experience your imagination can create. – Brandon Luffman, author of FROSTWALKER
