Perrin Lindelauf Editorial Services

Writing is easy – rewriting is hard. Do you have:

  • a manuscript that feels more like a mess?

  • a report that screams “rescue me!”

  • a paper that needs a polish to make perfect?

  • an idea that should be a book?

I’m here to help! As an editor with seventeen years of experience, I can offer guidance and solutions to whatever writing problems you may have. Get a quote! I’ll put you on the path to writerly success.

I offer editing and counsel at whatever stage your project is at:

  • structural editing to help arrange ideas in an outline or chapters and paragraphs in a finished manuscript

  • stylistic editing to ensure your writing strikes the right tone for your audience and your genre

  • copy editing to root out errors in grammar, sentence structure, and word usage

  • proofreading to find pesky typos in your almost-finished project

  • and advice on navigating the publication process, whether self-publishing or working with a traditional publishing house

Don’t take my word for it: I’ve written and edited books at National Geographic Books, Brill, and the University of Toronto Press, and I’ve patched up scores of academic papers that later saw publication in journals around the world. See my testimonials and recent work pages for my latest projects.

“OK, I’m sold,” you think, “but how much will it cost to fix my 1,000-page masterwork that I’ve been slaving over for ten years?”

I wish I could provide a simple flat rate by the word or page, I really do! It is like taking a car to a mechanic: when I see what’s wrong under the hood, I’ll have an idea of how many hours it will take to change the oil, swap brake pads, or overhaul the engine. Short documents with a host of issues can take more time than longer documents than need a simple read for typos. On the upside, I don’t charge for parts!

Editors.ca has some good advice on what editors cost, but it is best to reach out for a free quote. I’ll take a look at a few pages of your document, and then offer a range of improvements to your text at different price points.

What are you waiting for? Your book needs readers! Your report needs to wow your workplace! Your paper needs to knock the socks off your prof! Let me help you on your journey to better writing. Take the next step today.
