My name is Charity Henico. I am first and foremost a Christian, wife, and homeschooling mom of many.
I have had a book in my hands since I taught myself to read at age 3, and am honored to be able to help authors with their book babies.
For proofreading and line editing:
Proofreading includes checking for typos, misspellings, extra spaces, punctuation. This is your last step before publication.
Line editing includes checking for inconsistencies, wordiness, writing tense, etc. Line editing is the step before proofreading.
Genres:
No open door romance or horror, and only heterosexual romance.
I don't ask you to change your beliefs for me; please give me the same courtesy.
Pricing for each:
0.002¢-0.004¢ per word
(example: at 0.002¢, 85,000 words=$170).
Pricing is decided upon after you send me a 1-chapter sample of your book.
Time needed:
1 week for a book that is 100,000 words or less. Any more words than that, and I need 2 weeks.
Payment is via Paypal. I send an invoice for half up front, and then half upon completion. After that second half is paid, I will send you your proofread or edited manuscript.
Audiobook narrating:
I charge $150 per finished hour. Would you like to hear a sample of your book? Send me an excerpt and I'll record it for you.
Steps for narration:
You send me the PDF of the book, which I will read through. If we decide to work together, I'll send you a recorded and edited first chapter. Once you approve of that, you'll pay half of the estimated cost, then I will record and edit the rest (I do hire proof listeners, so you don't need to worry about that step). After you approve the entire book, you'll pay the second half of the finished cost.
I read only closed-door books, and I won't narrate anything with the Lord's name in vain or cursing. If I don't say it, I don't want my children hearing me speak it.
