The best way to decide if we are a good fit to work together is to get a free sampling of my services. You get to see if I am the right fit for you and your work. I get to see if I am the right editor to bring your vision to life on the page.
How it works

- Must be either a PDF, Microsoft Word document, or Google Doc
- I will email you a confirmation that I have received your file and let you know when I expect to complete it.
- Sit back, relax, and wait for your feedback.
It’s as simple as that! There are no commitments, obligations, or pressures to purchase services.
“To my editor, Lexi: You helped me turn this manuscript into a polished piece of work that we deemed publishable. Thank you for sifting through my terrible use of punctuation, and helping to perfect my novel.”
C.M. Radcliff, author of When Darkness Consumes
What you get
Sample edits are completed exactly like my Signature Copyedit service, just on a small portion of your manuscript. You can expect to receive:
- line-by-line feedback
- suggested edits, corrections, and improvements
- an editorial letter discussing the overall strengths and weaknesses
- special attention paid to the areas you are most concerned with in your manuscript
What I focus on
Copyediting focuses on the sentence-level structure, including:
- grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- effective sentence structure and style
- transitions and flow
- word choice and usage
- verb tense
- clarity, consistency, and correctness
- imagery, description, and exposition
- showing vs telling and active vs. passive
- readability
“Lexi was so helpful in improving the blurb and marketing position of my novel right before a big launch. She was incredibly professional, came to our meeting with a wealth of industry insight, and prepared research on my specific book. She went over the strengths of my book that made it stand out, some of which surprised me! Post launch, a reader left a review saying how refreshing it was to have the blurb match the book perfectly – proof of Lexi’s great work and expertise!”
Katy Foraker, author of Memories, Lies, and other Binds
What happens after
Once I have completed the edits, I will send you a file of your manuscript sample with my feedback.
If you have any further questions about your manuscript or my feedback after reviewing it, feel free to email me! I am happy to discuss it with you more.
If you are interested in working with me on your full manuscript, let me know and we can then get started on that process.
