Frequently asked questions

Where are you based?

I'm currently based in Ibadan, Nigeria.

How long does it take you to edit a manuscript?

It depends on the length of your manuscript, and the depth of polishing it needs. Typically, the process takes between one and six weeks.

Do you take on every project?

Unfortunately, no. It depends on my availability and if the project aligns with my values and skill set. However I'll let you know upfront if I'm able and willing to take on your manuscript before we start.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the type of editing you need and length of your manuscript. I offer flat affordable rates across board. View the pricing page for more details.

Can I book ahead ?

Yes, you can book ahead, and I highly recommend it to secure your spot on my schedule. Your booking is confirmed with a non-refundable 25% deposit.

What's the payment plan like?

To get started, I ask for a non-refundable 25% deposit. Once the editing is complete, you can pay the remaining balance, after which the edited manuscript will be sent to you. It’s all based on trust, you trust me to do my best work, and I trust you to honor your commitment.

Will my manuscript be perfect after you edit it?

I can’t promise perfection, but I can promise a well-edited, professional manuscript that’s significantly improved and ready for publishing or submission. Each round of editing brings us closer to this goal.

What style manual do you use?

The Chicago Manual of Style unless otherwise requested.

What formats do you accept for manuscripts?

I accept Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) and Google Docs. If your manuscript is in another format, please ask, and I’ll let you know if it can be accommodated.

What genres do you edit ?

I specialize in romance and women’s fiction. Authors with manuscripts in other genres can still inquire, and I’ll let you know if your project is a good fit.

Do you offer a sample edit ?

Yes. For line and copy editing, I provide a free sample edit of up to 1,000 words so you can see my editing style before committing. For developmental editing, the sample covers 2 chapters to give you a clear sense of my approach to story structure, plot, and character development.

How do I send you my manuscript?

Please send your manuscript via email. This keeps the process simple, secure, and easy to track.

What's your editing process?

Once your booking is confirmed, I'll review your manuscript and begin editing. I provide one update at the halfway point to show progress. At the end of the process, you’ll receive your fully edited manuscript upon completion of payment.

What happens after I pay the deposit?

After your deposit is received, your spot is secured and I’ll confirm your project schedule. I’ll then begin work as soon as your project’s start date arrives.

Do you offer proofreading only?

Yes, I also offer standalone proofreading for manuscripts that only need a final polish. Let me know which service best suits your needs.

Do you format the manuscript for publishing?

My focus is on editing. However, I can recommend trusted formatting services for you.

Will you keep my work confidential?

Absolutely. Your manuscript and ideas remain your intellectual property. I treat every project with strict confidentiality.
