Edit 8000

The Discovery Pass

Edit 8000 is designed for writers who want to experience professional editing on a smaller scale before committing to a full manuscript. It covers up to 8,000 words, about three chapters, and gives you a clear sense of what my editing can do for your book.

It’s also perfect for writers who want some professional input and guidance, but are excited to then go forward alone.

What Edit 8000 covers

Edit 8000 can be applied to developmental, line, or copyediting, or any combination depending on your preference. It’s a scaled version of the full services, offering targeted insight and polish on fewer words but still with the WordServings touch.

A WordServings Edit 8000 edit

• applies the same professional care as a full edit
• shows you how your writing can improve in flow, clarity, and consistency
• highlights recurring issues that will need attention throughout your manuscript
• provides feedback tailored to your chosen editing level.

Benefits by genre

• Fiction. You see how edits strengthen pacing, dialogue, and immersion.
• Non-fiction. You learn how editing clarifies ideas and enhances authority.
• Memoir. You experience how editorial support sharpens your voice while preserving authenticity.

What you’ll receive

• Your edited sample with Track Changes showing every editorial alteration
• A clean copy of your sample with all changes accepted
• In-manuscript comments and questions where your input is needed
• An editorial letter summarizing strengths, challenges, and patterns to watch for

Investment

Edit 8000 is offered at a flat rate. Should you decide to move forward with a full edit of your manuscript, within a year, this amount will be deducted from the total investment.

A clear agreement covers the scope of the project and fee before any work begins. There are never any hidden costs.
