A truly magical story is a powerful investment, in both you, the author, and your readers. Blue Darner Editing treasures your time and trust, and our range of rates allows you to invest where it matters most to you.

Every project is as unique as its writer. With our bids, we consider your word count, pages, scope of work, and the time it will take to help your story sparkle. Our rates align with those suggested by the Editorial Freelancer’s Association https://www.the-efa.org/rates/

We will always require your approval of the bid before we begin our editing partnership.

Please fill out and submit our contact form to request a bid for personalized editorial services.

We have a great deal of experience editing novels and short-form fiction. We are open to most genres, both literary and commercial. We are not accepting horror or erotica at this time.

Non-fiction projects will be considered based on subject and scope.

At Blue Darner Editing, we are people, not robots. We honor and value human generated writing.

There are times when AI can be used as a tool for research or to organize our approach to your work. However, these occasional-use tools will never take the place of a human editor who is fully committed to your writing.

Any use AI will be fully disclosed in our editing contract.
