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.
Coming soon: audiobook narrating!
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.
Charity treats her editing services as more than simple line editing or proofreading: this is her ministry. Her dedication to bring polished, refined, clean and/or Christian fiction to the market shines in the manuscripts she works on. She will not only help your book become the best version it could be with her keen eye, she'll also be a cheerleader for your writing. I'm so thankful for her work and will be using her editing services for every book to come!
I love working with Charity on my books! Not only does she have a sharp eye, but she’s a reader first, which adds an extra layer of expertise to her proofreading abilities. I highly recommend her to any sweet romance author.
