⭐Discounts⭐

I offer 10% off for US active, reserve, and national guard servicemembers, as well as military veterans. 💖🤍💙

I also lower the fee for returning customers who want a second-level edit on the same project (example: if you hire me for a developmental edit on your manuscript and, after making changes based on feedback, you’d like a line edit, I will work out a lower price for you; the total discount depends on the length and complexity of the project).
