This provides a minimum two-pass look at a work in its first or second stage, or for the new and developing writer, for $30 per hour, based on the number of passes and word count. For Fiction, an additional fee of up to $3 per 1,000 words may be added for the required Character List, Places List, and Timeline depending on how complete any portion of these supplied by the author are. On the first pass, I offer suggestions on structure, organization, focus, readability, and balance. For the second pass, I read through and offer suggestions on coherence, flow, and language use to help you find your voice. I track all changes and allow you to review my suggestions. The second pass is also submitted for your approval. Discounts are available for a Bobbi Basic Edit after this second pass. I also provide one-hour sessions on Google Chat between passes and after the final pass for $50 each. For an example, click here.

I work in either MS Word or Google Docs, whichever you prefer. This service provides encouragement and tips for the developing writer or a new project. I must see the entire sample in advance. Once a price is set and a contract is in place, I require 30% to start. I require 50% before my second pass. The remaining 20% is due when I return the completed project. Meetings on Google Chat must be paid in advance of the meeting.

I will return the first pass to you with all my changes and comments, I will not change anything until you approve it. For the second pass, I track changes and give you time to approve these as well. Once these are approved, I will provide a final, clean copy.
