How to Hire Me

If you are interesting in hiring me for a project, please send an email to sarah@engelke-editing.com with the following information:

  • Introduce yourself and briefly describe your project. Let me know who you are and what you like to be called. What kind of project is it? Is it fiction or nonfiction? What genre is it? How many words is it?
  • If you have a manuscript you’d like me to look at, please attach it to the email. Manuscripts should be a .doc or .docx file and in a simple font like Times New Roman or Cambria.

After I receive your email, I’ll reply and let you know the timeline for giving you a price quote on the project. Depending on how full my schedule is, it might take me a few days to have time to assess a manuscript or large project.

Payment

I accept payment and send invoices through Paypal. An account there is not required to pay invoices. Other payment methods can be discussed.

All projects require a nonrefundable 50% deposit when an editing date is agreed on. The other half of the editing fee is due upon receipt of the completed manuscript. Starving artist and need a payment plan? Talk to me about it.

Any prices mentioned are in American dollars.
